Abstract

This article examines the techniques used to praise the emperor Maximian, a former soldier of low birth, in two speeches delivered in 289 and 291. The panegyrics transform Maximian's Pannonian origin, which was not publicised in official media at the time, into a statement of his imperial suitability.
