Constantius II
324 to 361 AD
Son of Constantine I; brother of Constantine II, Constans Constantia, and Helena
Constantius was the second of the three sons of Constantine I. When Constantine died in 337, Constantius II led the massacre of his relatives decended from the second marriage of his grandfather Constantius Chlorus, leaving himself, his brothers, and two cousins as the only surviving adult males related to Constantine. The three brothers divided the Roman Empire among them, according to their father's will. Constantine II received Britannia, Gaul and Hispania; Constans ruled Italia, Africa, and Illyricum; and Constantius ruled the East. Constantius defeated Magnentius in the Battle of Mursa Major, one of the bloodiest battles in Roman history, in 351. Constantius put his cousin Gallus to death after Magnentius died. However, he still could not handle the military affairs of both the Eastern and German frontiers by himself, so in 355 he elevated his last remaining relative, Julian, to Caesar. As Julian was hailed Augustus by the army in Gaul, in 361, Constantius saw no alternative but to face the usurper with violent force. As the two armies sought engagement, Constantius died from a fever near Tarsus on November 3, 361, and Julian was hailed Augustus throughout the Roman Empire.
