307| 200–700 | Central 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. | | 307 | Roman Empire [political events] | Maxentius calls on his father, the former Western Roman emperor Maximian, to come out of retirement to help him. The emperor of the East, Galerius, orders Severus, Emperor of the West, to march on Rome against Maxentius. Many of Severus' soldiers have previously served under Maximian, however, and Severus is forced to retire to Ravenna, where Maximian, who has resumed his position as Augustus (emperor), persuades him to become his hostage against Galerius. Maximian travels to Gaul to gain the support of Constantine against the Eastern emperor, who acknowledges Maxentius as Augustus in the West. Constantine accepts promotion to the rank of Augustus and marries Maximian's daughter Fausta. |
