Constans (reigned AD 337¨C350)

Constans I was the youngest son of Constantine the Great. Following his father¡¯s death in AD 337, he inherited the central territories of the Roman Empire, including Italy and North Africa, excluding the territories of Constantius II and Egypt in the eastern Empire.

Educated in Constantinople during his youth, Constans was exposed to Eastern influences. It might therefore have been expected that, upon becoming emperor, he would adopt Arian doctrines, which enjoyed the support of local Christians. Following his baptism in AD 337, however, Constans embraced the teachings of Athanasius and aligned himself with the Western Church.

After Constantine II was killed in AD 340, Constans incorporated his brother¡¯s territories into his own dominions, including Britain, Gaul and Spain. In AD 343, Constans became the last legitimate emperor to visit Britain. During his stay, he conducted military operations along Hadrian¡¯s Wall. His relations with the army were poor, however, and when the commander Magnentius rebelled in AD 350, the troops sided with the insurgents. Constans attempted to flee to Spain but was captured and defeated by forces dispatched in pursuit by Magnentius.
