1.2.2.8.2 Constantius II


Flavius Julius Constantius Emperor 337 - 361	Flavius Claudius Constantius Gallus Caesar 351 - 354	Flavius Magnus Magnentius Emperor 350 - 353	Magnus Decentius Caesar 351 - 353
Constantius II, middle son of Constantine and Fausta, became Caesar in 324. He received the eastern territories after Constantine's death. After Constans was overthrown by Magnentius, a nephew of Constantine, Nepotian, seized power in Rome but was killed after a reign of 28 days. The Illyrian army then proclaimed Vetranio emperor; he however supported Constantius and was later retired with honor. Magnentius made his brother Decentius Caesar; Constantius made his cousin, Constantius Gallus, Caesar to look after the East while he marched against Magnentius, whom he defeated in 351 and again in 353, after which Magnentius took his own life. Constantius then executed Gallus for his cruelty and misrule, appointing his cousin Julian Caesar, with responsibility for Gaul, while he made ready for an invasion of Persia. But Julian's troops rebelled when ordered to furnish contingents for the Persian war and Julian was acclaimed; Constantius then marched against him but died on campaign November 3, 361.
Usurpers: Vetranio, Nepotian
