That is: There is a right way to do things.
Constantine, usurping the title, broke the whole machine, if he followed the line traced by Diocletian, instead of launching a personal race for the personal power, he had the personality to save the Tetrachy, but he hated the system created by Diocletian because it limited his personal power, this is the point.
Constantine, following his way, destroyed the new constitutional architecture which was built by Diocletian to save the alchemical political machine invented by Octavian, Constantine (UT EUM DII DEAEQUE PERDANT) ultimately destroyed the Empire, because Rome was not, nor it could become a Hellenistic Tyranny and trying to turn the Roman Empire into a hereditary monarchy destroyed the subtle and delicate political balance restored by Diocletian.
Emp, also I respect your opinions as the opinions of everyone on TWC, I just write what I think, so please read all my posts as if at the beginning of each one there was written 'In My Humble Opinion'.
