Maximinus II (c. 270–313 CE), also known as Maximinus Daia, was a Roman emperor who ruled as Caesar from 305 CE and later as Augustus in the East from 310 to 313 CE during the final years of the Tetrarchy. A nephew of Emperor Galerius, he was elevated to power due to family ties and military support. Maximinus is best known for his harsh persecution of Christians, continuing anti-Christian policies even after the Edict of Toleration in 311 CE. His rule was marked by tension with co-emperors, especially Licinius, whom he ultimately confronted in battle. In 313 CE, Maximinus was defeated by Licinius and fled, dying shortly afterward—likely by suicide or illness. His death marked the decline of imperial resistance to Christianity and paved the way for Constantine’s rise.
