200–700Central America [statistics and demography]The Zapotec site of Monte Albán in Central America is at its peak in this period. It may have had 30,000 or more inhabitants. It is the centre of a complex of public buildings, temples, and dwellings that cover 40 sq km/15 sq mi.
293Roman Empire [administration]Diocletian, the Roman emperor of the East, further develops his plan for ruling the Empire: it is to be ruled jointly by two Augusti (Diocletian for the East and Maximian for the West), each of whom is to have a Caesar to help him. Diocletian chooses the soldier Galerius as his Caesar and Maximian appoints his Praetorian prefect Constantius Chlorus. The Tetrarchy, known as the Quattuor Principes Mundi (‘Four Rulers of the World’), has genuine power: all laws and edicts are to be issued in the names of all four rulers and are to be equally valid; no sanction from the Roman Senate is required. Each Caesar will marry into the Augustus' family and then succeed him after 20 years. So Galerius gives up his wife to marry Diocletian's daughter Valeria, and Constantius gives up his wife Helena, mother of the future emperor Constantine I the Great, to marry Maximian's daughter Theodora.
