bio: |
  Martinian spent his career as a senior administrator under Licinius, one of the last emperors to rule the eastern Roman Empire. In July 324, with Constantine I closing in during their civil war, Licinius raised Martinian to augustus — a desperate bid to split the burden or shore up legitimacy. The gambit failed. Constantine crushed both emperors by September, forced them to abdicate, and initially spared their lives. Then he had them executed in 325.
