This started in 296 CE when the Persians won against Galerius (another leader), but since Galerius failed miserably, Diocletian shamed/criticized him. Then Diocletian came back with more troops and defeated the Persians along with their
During the fifth century B.C.E., there were two forms of tension that contributed to the artistic outpour.
