Historical background
GALERIA VALERIA
(+315)
Daughter of Diocletian, wife of Galerius - Augusta
Galeria Valeria is the daughter of Diocletian. By adopting Maximien Galère in 293, Diocletian had his daughter married to the latter. Galeria Valeria appears on the coinage after the conference of Carnuntum (11/11/308), but disappears from it after the death of her husband in 311. She remains under the protection of Maximin II Daia. After the disappearance of the latter in 313, she must flee. Licinius had her murdered two years later.
