As his father became emperor in 285, he was regarded as crown prince who would once follow his father on the throne. He seems not to have served in any important military or administrative position during Diocletian's and his father's reign, though. Early (the exact date is unknown) he married Valeria Maximilla, the daughter of Galerius. He had two sons, Valerius Romulus (c. 295 ? 309) and an unknown one.
