Helena
248 to 329 AD
Mother of Constantine I, First wife of Constantius I
Flavia Iulia Helena, also known as
Saint Helena, she is credited with finding the relics of the True Cross.
Constantius Chlorus divorced her (c.292) to marry the step-daughter of Maximian,
Flavia Maximiana Theodora. Helena's son, Constantine, became emperor of the
Roman Empire, and following his elevation she became a presence at the imperial
court, and received the title Augusta.
