Jupiter and Hercules - History of Rome

Diocletian instigated a new style of emperor, much more based on an appeal to the Gods than to a connection to the old Roman republic. He also appointed a co-emperor in the form of his old friend Maximian.  Diocletian was sponsored by Jupiter and Maximian by Hercules.
