Barbarian invasions, religious clashes, and military uprisings threatened the sovereignty of the Caesars. In the East, the powerful Queen Zenobia gathered a troop of mounted warriors and took control of Syria.

Diocletian, who ruled the Roman Empire between 284 and 305 AD, promoted the last great persecution of Christians, claiming nearly three thousand lives. During his administration, Mediterranean society suffered from the Persian invasion, the harassment of the Germans in the far north, and a series of internal revolts. Diocletian also moved the capital from Rome to Nicomedia, in Anatolia (present-day Turkey), and created a private guard, an elite troop of which Georgios was supposedly a member.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHoly Warrior: Unconquered Rome\u003c\/em\u003e is the first book in a trilogy that aims to tell the biography of Saint George through a historical lens.
