Constantius II, born on September 9, 337 was the successor to Constantius I.  Constantius became emperor in 324 of the Roman world, married Eusebia Constantius, and had a daughter named Constantia, who married Gratianus.  Constantius II was awarded with military honors when he defeated the Visigoths in 332, and with that victory was named Germanicus Maximus.  His brothers Constantinus and Constans were also given military titles that were highly regarded.  He himself was Consul several times after being proclaimed “caesar”, and one of the times was with his brother Constans.  Yet, on his march west to Mesopotamia to defeat Julian in 631 he died.
