Abstract
This article is a re-enactment of the biography of one of the outstanding Romans, M. V. Maximianus, who rose to fame through his numerous heroic deeds in the period known as the Marcomannic Wars. The basis for this re-enactment were two archaeological sources of immense importance, both in the form of inscriptions. One inscription was discovered in today’s Slovak Trenčin and the other in Zana, in Algeria. Importantly, their contents mutually enrich and supplement each other, providing the basis for re-enactment of the biography. At the same time, it should be stipulated that that some fragments of this biography, especially in terms of absolute dating, reflect only the author’s educated guess, made in the majority based on the sequence of events that took place.
