SOLDIERS WITH STANDARDS

Constantine II(Latin:Flavius Claudius Constantinus Augustus)

(January / February 316 – 340) wasRoman Emperorfrom 337 to 340.

Son ofConstantine the Greatand co-emperor alongside his brothers, his attempt to exert his perceived rights ofprimogenitureled to his death in a failed invasion ofItalyin 340.

The eldest son ofConstantine the GreatandFausta, after the death of his half-brotherCrispus,

Constantine II was born inArlesin February 316and raised as a Christian. On 1 March 317, he was madeCaesar; at the age of seven, in 323,

he took part in his father\'s campaign against theSarmatians. At age ten he became commander ofGaul, following the death of Crispus.

An inscription dating to 330 records the title ofAlamannicus, so it is probable that his generals won a victory over theAlamanni.

His military career continued when Constantine I made him field commander during the 332 campaign against theGoths.

Following the death of his father in 337, Constantine II initially became emperor jointly with his brothersConstantius IIandConstans,

with the Empire divided between them and their cousins, style=\"text-align: center; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Times; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\">This arrangement barely survived Constantine I’s death, as his sons arranged the slaughter of most of the rest of the family by the army.

As a result, the three brothers gathered together inPannoniaand there, on 9 September 337, divided the Roman world between themselves.

Constantine, proclaimedAugustusby the troops style=\"text-align: center; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Times; font-size: small; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\">He was soon involved in the struggle between factions rupturing the unity of theChristian Church.

The Western portion of the Empire, under the influence of thePopesinRome, favoredCatholicismoverArianism, and through their intercession they convinced Constantine to freeAthanasius,

allowing him to return toAlexandria. This action aggravated Constantius II, who was a committed supporter of Arianism.

Division of the Roman Empire among the Caesars appointed byConstantine I: from left to right, the territories of Constantine II,Constans I,DalmatiusandConstantius II. After the death of Constantine I (May 337), this was the formal division of the Empire, until Dalmatius was killed and his territory divided between Constans and Constantius.

Constantine was initially the guardian of his younger brother Constans, whose portion of the empire wasItalia,AfricaandIllyricum.

Constantine soon complained that he had not received the amount ofterritory that was his due as the eldest son.

Annoyed that Constans had receivedThraceandMacedoniaafter the death of Dalmatius,

Constantine demanded that Constans hand over the African provinces, to which he agreed in order to maintain a fragile peace.

Soon, however, they began quarreling over which parts of the African provinces belonged toCarthage, and thus Constantine, and which belonged toItaly, and therefore Constans.

Further complications arose when Constans came of age and Constantine, who had grown accustomed to dominating his younger brother,

would not relinquish the guardianship. In 340 Constantine marched into Italy at the head of his troops.

Constans, at that time inDacia, detached and sent a select and disciplined body of his Illyrian troops,

stating that he would follow them in person with the remainder of his forces.

Constantine was engaged in military operations and was killed in an ambush outsideAquileia. Constans took control of his deceased brother\'s realm
