Ancient Roman Emperor Diocletian ruled the Ancient Roman Empire by himself from November 20, 285 to April 1, 286. From April 1, 286 to May 1, 305 Emperor Diocletian ruled the Ancient Roman Empire along with Ancient Roman Emperor Maximian (Who himself ruled the Ancient Roman Empire all by himself from July 21 or July 25] 285 to date unknown, 286 and later by himself from Late 306 – November 11, 308), Ancient Roman Emperor Galerius (Who later ruled the Ancient Roman Empire all by himself from May 1, 305 to late April or early May 311), and Ancient Roman Emperor Constantius I aka Emperor Constantius Chlorus (Who later ruled the Ancient Roman Empire all by himself from Date Unknown, 305 to Date Unknown, 306). Anyway, when the Ancient Roman Empire was ruled by four men from April 1, 286 to May 1, 305 named Emperor Diocletian, Emperor Maximian, Emperor Galerius and Emperor Constantius I aka Emperor Constantius Chlorus. And it was between April 1, 286 to May 1, 305 of Christianity in general and the Roman Catholic Church in particular suffered it's worse persecution during what was known as Diocletianic Persecution (or Great Persecution). Nobody hated Christianity more than the four men committe of Emperor Diocletian, Emperor Maximian, Emperor Galerius and Emperor Constantius I aka Emperor Constantius Chlorus who once ruled the Ancient Roman Empire for nineteen years before their union was torn apart into a messy civil war. They didn't like to share anything.
Saint Pancras was born in Synnada, Phrygia on Date Unknown 289 and he was crucified in Via Aurelia, Rome on Date Unknown, 304. Cyriada was his mother and she died in childbirth. Cleonius was his father and he died eight years after Saint Pancras was born. Saint Pancras was born to legitimate citizens of Rome, but it made no difference when he became an orphan at the youthful age of eight. Saint Pancras was brought to Rome and given a chance to perform a Pagan sacrifice to Ancient Roman Empire deities such as Zeus before the four man committee of Emperor Diocletian, Emperor Maximian, Emperor Galerius and Emperor Constantius I aka Emperor Constantius Chlorus. Saint Pancras resisted. Emperor Diocletian pulled Saint Pancras aside and offered him wealth and power as a member of his inner circle. And when Saint Pancras refused the offer, he was decapitated as an enemy of pagan religion. Saint Pancras was only fourteen years old when he was martyred for his devotion to the Christian Faith.
