He, also, managed to reconquer Lower Germania, along with the Dacia.I wish he had lived long enough to win against the Persians, he would have been undoubtedly number 1.

Btw your videos are quality, great job

[pdawg]

Fantastic video! Could you do a short video or some sort of explanation as to why Constantius and then Constantine got Hispania added to their territory and why Galerius got Asia Minor. Was it because of their change from Caesar to Augustus?
