CONSTANTIUS I
(+306)
Restitution of Constantinus I
Constance, father of Constantine I and husband of Helen, who became august in 305, went to Brittany to fight the Picts. He died in York as Septimius Severus, July 25, 306. His son Constantine, who was with him despite the prohibition of Galerius, was proclaimed Caesar. Subsequently, he often uses the image of his father for his benefit.
