30. Lactantius de M. P. c. 32. When Galerius declared
Licinius Augustus with himself, he tried to satisfy his
younger associates, by inventing for Constantine and
Maximin (not Maxentius, see Baluze, p. 81) the new title
of sons of the Augusti. But when Maximin acquainted him that
he had been saluted Augustus by the army, Galerius was
obliged to acknowledge him, as well as Constantine as equal
associates in the Imperial dignity.
