History of coin subject "Diocletian": Roman emperor (284 to 305), who restored efficient government to the empire after the near anarchy of the 3rd century. His reorganization of the fiscal, administrative, and military machinery of the empire laid the foundation for the Byzantine Empire in the East and temporarily shored up the decaying empire in the West. His reign is also noted for the last great persecution of the Christians. The Emperor Gaius Aurelius Valerius Diocletianus put an end to the disastrous phase of Roman history known as the "Military Anarchy" or the "Imperial Crisis" (235-284). He established an obvious military despotism and was responsible for laying the groundwork for the second phase of the Roman Empire, which is known variously as the "Dominate," the "Tetrarchy," the "Later Roman Empire," or the "Byzantine Empire." His reforms ensured the continuity of the Roman Empire in the east for more than a thousand years. Diocletian centralized the political authority. He developed policies, in which he put into effect an imperial system of values on different provincial people. Together with his Caesars, Diocletian was considered the restorer of the entire world. His team was believed to gain victory over barbarians, thus securing their world.
