530 The Absolute Monarchy I. e. Maximian. looked into; by recompensing merit on the one hand., and by forbidding every shameful deed on the other, the Emperors were arousing an enthusiasm for right-conduct. They observed the ancient faith reverently and piously. Furthermore, Rome, with its seven hills, and other cities, noticeably Carthage, Milan, and Nicomedia, were marvelously adorned with beautiful buildings. Yet these Emperors, despite their good deeds, were not without faults. Herculius, for instance, behaved in so licentious a manner that he did not curb his passions even in the case of hostages. Valerius showed but little faith in his friends, doubtless through fear of discord, while he thought that the peace of the rulers might be disturbed through false reports. Also the strength of Rome, so to speak, was maimed by diminishing the number of the pretorian cohorts and of the people in arms; wherefore indeed many historians say that he abdicated the Empire. For when he was investigating the future, he learned from fate of the internal calamities and of a crash as it were threatening the Roman state; whereupon although still powerful, he gave up the care of the state after he had reigned twenty years; and with very great difficulty he compelled Herculius to do likewise. . . . And although the truth is obscured because of the variety of opinions in regard to the abdication, nevertheless we think that he assumed a humble life because of his fine nature—a nature that spurned ostentation. Introduction. From an inscription, quoted by Duruy, History uj Ro7ne, vii. 401. II. Diocletian's Edict of Prices All men know that articles of traffic and objects of daily use have attained exorbitant prices, four or eight times their true value, or even more than that; so that, through the avarice of monopolists, the provisioning of our armies
1 Edict of Prices 531 becomes impossible. We have determined therefore to fix, not the price of these articles, which would be unjust, but the amount which in each case they will not be allowed to exceed.
