The usurper L. Domitius Alexander (Alexander of Carthage) was governor of Africa and had sworn allegiance to Maxentius, securing the all-important Carthaginian grain supply for Rome. Constantine and Maximian convinced Alexander to renege on this alliance, and thus he deserted to their camp and halted the grain shipments, causing famine and severe rioting in Rome. Maxentius sent his praetorian prefect, Volusian, with several Legions to North Africa to put an end to Alexander's revolt, and when Constantine and Maximian offered no help, Volusian's legions swiftly defeated Alexander and his troops. Alexander himself was captured and strangled shortly thereafter. -
