The belief in \u003cbr\u003esuch spirits existed in Greece and at Rome. The Greeks called them Daemons, and \u003cbr\u003eappear to have believed in them from the earliest times, though Homer does not \u003cbr\u003emention them. Hesiod says that the Daemons were 30,000 in number, and that they \u003cbr\u003edwelled on earth unseen by mortals, as the ministers of Zeus, and as the \u003cbr\u003eguardians of men and justice. He further conceives them to be the souls of the \u003cbr\u003erighteous men who lived in the golden age of the world. The Greek philosophers \u003cbr\u003etook up this idea, and developed a complete theory of daemons. Thus we read in \u003cbr\u003ePlato, that daemons are assinged to men at the moment of their birth, that they \u003cbr\u003eaccompany men through life, and after death conduct their souls to Hades. \u003cbr\u003ePindar, in several passages of the spirit watching over the fate of man from the \u003cbr\u003ehour of his birth. The daemons are further described as ministers and companions \u003cbr\u003eof the gods, who carry the prayers of men to the gods, and the gifts of the gods \u003cbr\u003eto men, and accordingly float in immense numbers in the space between heaven and \u003cbr\u003eearth. There was also a distinct class of daemons, who were exclusively the \u003cbr\u003eministers of the gods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Romans seem to have received their notions respecting the genii from the \u003cbr\u003eEtruscans, though the name Genius itself is Latin (it is connected with gi-gn-o, \u003cbr\u003egen-ui, and equivalent in meaning to generator or father). The genii of the \u003cbr\u003eRomans are the powers which produce life (dii genitales), and accompany man \u003cbr\u003ethrough it as his second or spiritual self. They were further not confined to \u003cbr\u003eman, but every living being, animal as well as man, and every place had its \u003cbr\u003egenius. Every human being at his birth obtained (sortitur) a genius, who he \u003cbr\u003eworshipped as sanctus et sanctissimus deus, especially on his birthday, with \u003cbr\u003elibations of wine, incense, and garlands of flowers. The bridal bed was sacred \u003cbr\u003eto the genius, on account of his connection with generation, and the bed itself \u003cbr\u003ewas called lectus genialis. On other merry occasions, also , sacrifices were \u003cbr\u003eoffered to the genius, and to indulge in merriment was not unfrequently \u003cbr\u003eexpressed by genio indulgere, genium curare, or placarae. The whole body of the \u003cbr\u003eRoman people had its own genius, who is often seen represented on coins of \u003cbr\u003eHadrian and Trajan. He was worshipped on sad as well as joyous occasions; thus, \u003cbr\u003esacrifices were offered to him at the beginning of the 2nd year of the war with \u003cbr\u003eHannibal. The genii are usually represented in works of art as winged beings. \u003cbr\u003eThe genius of a place appears in the form of a serpent eating fruit placed \u003cbr\u003ebefore him.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cfont size=\"5\"\u003eMaximinus II (Latin: Gaius Valerius Galerius \u003cbr\u003eMaximinus Daia Augustus; 20 November c. 270 - July or August 313), also known as \u003cbr\u003eMaximinus Daia or Maximinus Daza, was Roman Emperor from 308 to 313. He became \u003cbr\u003eembroiled in the Civil wars of the Tetrarchy between rival claimants for control \u003cbr\u003eof the empire, in which he was defeated by Licinius. A committed pagan, he \u003cbr\u003eengaged in one of the last persecutions of Christians.He was born of Dacian \u003cbr\u003epeasant stock to the sister of the emperor Galerius near their family lands \u003cbr\u003earound Felix Romuliana, a rural area then in the Danubian region of Moesia, now \u003cbr\u003eEastern Serbia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe rose to high distinction after joining the army.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 305, his maternal uncle Galerius became the eastern Augustus and adopted \u003cbr\u003eMaximinus, raising him to the rank of caesar (in effect, the junior eastern \u003cbr\u003eEmperor), and granting him the government of Syria and Egypt.In 308, after the \u003cbr\u003eelevation of Licinius to Augustus, Maximinus and Constantine were declared filii \u003cbr\u003eAugustorum (\"sons of the Augusti\"), but Maximinus probably started styling \u003cbr\u003ehimself after Augustus during a campaign against the Sassanids in 310. On the \u003cbr\u003edeath of Galerius in 311, Maximinus divided the Eastern Empire between Licinius \u003cbr\u003eand himself. When Licinius and Constantine began to make common cause, Maximinus \u003cbr\u003eentered into a secret alliance with the usurper Caesar Maxentius, who controlled \u003cbr\u003eItaly. He came to an open rupture with Licinius in 313; he summoned an army of \u003cbr\u003e70,000 men but sustained a crushing defeat at the Battle of Tzirallum in the \u003cbr\u003eneighbourhood of Heraclea Perinthus on April 30. He fled, first to Nicomedia and \u003cbr\u003eafterwards to Tarsus, where he died the following August.
