Diocletian - ܕܝܩܠܝܛܝܢܘܣ

http://syriaca.org/person/2261
“Diocletian ruled the Roman Empire from 284 to his abdication in 305. He stabilised the war-shaken Empire by nominating co-emperors, a system that became known as the Tetrarchy. In the last years of his reign, after 302, he turned against the growing Christian communities. Later authors like John of Ephesus therefore mainly remember him as one of the most cruel and savage Christian persecutors.” 8
