- Diocletian's reign stabilized the empire and marks the end of the Crisis of the Third Century

- In ancient Greek religion and myth the concept of Eusebeia is anthropomorphized as the daimon of piety, loyalty, duty and filial respect; according to one source, her husband is Nomos (Law), and their daughter is Dike, goddess of justice and fair judgment
