On Gaius Galerius Valerius Maxiamanus, Emperor; Damnatio Memoriae

Be damned, that heinous murderer Gaius Galierus

who last request on his deathbed was rather hilarious.

Having send multitudes of Christians to a martyred death,

he asked their brethren to pray for him as he lay ill

(at the end of his life, actually):  then, at his last breath

his soul was tossed into Lake Fire; his carcass took on a chill;

his big mouth finally silent, and his acidic tongue fallen still.


Starward

Author's Notes/Comments: 

They tell me that Galerius was actually the instigator of the Persecution with Diocletian carried out; Diocletian, that damned cabbage planter.
