How did Diocletian help slow inflation?

Years of devaluation had occurred during the reign of previous emperors as they expanded the Roman army to fight repeated and devastating invasions into the empire and to increase the pay and bonuses of the miltary. The problem of inflation had been caused by the debasement of the coins: the reduction in the precious metal content which devalued the coins. They had become worthless due to minimal precious metal content. Diocletian undertook a monetary reform which introduced five new coin: a gold coin, a silver coin, a copper and silver coin and a copper coin. The gold and silver coins had higher precious metal contents than the previous ones. However, the monetary reform did not stop inflation. Therefore, Diocletian issued the Edict of Maximum Prices to put a limit on the prices of goods. However, this proved unenforceable. It was Constantine the Great who managed to control inflation. He concentrated on issuing large quantities of a new gold coin and temporality did not issue new silver coins until late during his reign. He confiscated the treasuries of pagan temples and shrines to amass gold to be smelted for coins. The gold coin proved to be stable and inflation started to slow.
