Historical background


CONSTANTIUS I

(+ 306)

Restitution of Maxentius

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, on July 25, 306. His son, Constantine, who was with him despite Galerius' ban, was proclaimed Caesar. Subsequently, he often uses his father's image for his benefit. But he is not the only one.
