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.

Flavius Julius Constantius was born on 7 August 317 in Illyricum. He seems to have been made a Caesar on 13 November 324 in Nicomedeia. He married his first wife, also his second cousin, in Constantinople. When his father died in May 337, Constantius, who was campaigning in the east, rushed back to Constantinople and arranged for his father's obsequies. He may have been the force behind the murder of a large number of relatives and retainers in a purge. In the first part of September 337 Constantius II and his two brothers met in Pannonia where they were acclaimed Augusti by the army to divide up the empire among themselves. After his brother was killed in 350, Constantius obtained possession of his brother's realm. Although he appears to have been a competent general, some contemporaries felt that Constantius was a better soldier in civil wars than in foreign combat and some disparaged his apparent reluctance to face the Persians. One of the longest-reigned emperors in Roman history, Constantius is hard for the modern historian to fully understand both due to his own actions and due to the interests of the authors of primary sources for his reign.

About Constantine I

Constantine I is the best-known emperor from the late Roman Empire. He became emperor in 306 A.D. Throughout his long reign he introduced many changes to the empire. He created religious tolerance, which allowed Christians to worship freely. Later he converted to Christianity himself. Constantine realized that Rome was no longer a good capitol for the empire and so he moved the imperial residence east to Constantinople. Throughout his life he fought various civil wars and wars against various Germanic tribes. Constantine died of a sickness in 337A.D.

ABOUT THE EMPEROR:
Flavius Julius Constantius, second son of Constantine I and Fausta, was born on 7 August 317 in Illyricum. He seems to have been made a Caesar on 13 November 324 in Nicomedeia. When his father died in May 337, Constantius rushed back to Constantinople and arranged for his father's obsequies. The realm of Constantius II included the east, except for Thrace, Achaea, and Macedon. His first wife, the daughter of Julius Constantius, must have died in the '40s or early '50s because he married his second wife Eusebia in 353. Although the marriage was harmonious, she passed away in 360. At some point in 361 before his death he had married Faustina, who bore him a daughter, Constantia, posthumously. One of the longest-reigned emperors in Roman history, Constantius is hard for the modern historian to fully understand both due to his own actions and due to the interests of the authors of primary sources for his reign.

Constans II was also known as Constantine the Bearded. He was the last Roman to become consul in history. He served as a Byzantine emperor from 641 to 668 AD. Under his reign, the Romans completely withdrew from Egypt and instead took control of Carthage. Constans II offered protection to both the religious protection to the divided Christians in his empire. Constans II soon conquered the Balkan lands and made peace with the Arabs. But Pope Martin I condemned his protection of Monothelitism and his willingness to compromise. Constans II began to become increasingly worried that his brother would oust him from the throne and chose to have him killed. The people hated Constans II so he moved to Sicily to rule from there. He was able to conquer Rome from the Lombards for a short period of time. When in Rome he stripped the Pantheon and other buildings of the precious ornaments. He also announced that the pope had no jurisdiction over the archbishop who represented Constans II. His recent moves led to his assassination by his chamberlain while taking a bath.
