Galerius Valerius Maximianus[j] (/ɡəˈlɛəriəs/; Greek: Γαλέριος; c. 258 – May 311) was Roman emperor from 305 to 311. While acting as Caesar under Emperor Diocletian, Galerius obtained victory warring against the Persian Sassanian Empire, defeating Narseh at the battle of Satala in 298 and possibly sacking the Sassanian capital of Ctesiphon in 299. He also campaigned across the Danube against the Carpi, defeating them in 297 and 300. Although he was a staunch opponent of Christianity, Galerius ended the Diocletianic Persecution when he issued the Edict of Toleration in Serdica (Sofia) in 311.

Galerius was born in the Danube provinces, either near Serdica[13] or at the place where he later built his palace named after his mother – Felix Romuliana (Gamzigrad).[14][15] Under this palace, an older villa has been found that is sometimes interpreted as Galerius' birthplace.[16] His Thracian father and his mother, Romula, had left Roman Dacia (today Romania) because of the Carpians' attacks.[17][18]: 19  He originally followed his father's occupation, that of a herdsman, where he was nicknamed "Armentarius", herdsman (Latin: armentum, lit.'herd').[19] His original cognomen was "Maximinus", but he changed it to "Maximianus" after becoming Caesar.[4]
