November 22, 244 AD: Official birthday of the emperor Diocletian, who was probably born near Salona in Dalmatia (Solin in modern Croatia) by the name of Diocles, or possibly Diocles Valerius. His actual birthday may well have been on a different day because the first forty years of his life are mostly obscure. His parents were of low status, and writers critical of him claimed that his father was a scribe or a freedman of the senator Anullinus, or even that Diocles was a freedman himself.
November 22, 375 AD: After the death of Valentian 5 days earlier (November 17), his younger son Flavius Valentinianus (Valentinian II) is made emperor by Valentinian's leading general Merobaudes (supported by the army) in Aquincum (Budapest).
