Описание:

Caesar 1 March 293 – 1 May 305

Constantius's birthday was 31 March; the year is unknown, but his career and the age of his eldest son imply a date no later than c. 250.[9] Constantius was an Illyrian.[10][11] He was born in Naissus, then in Moesia Superior,[1] a Roman province on the south bank of the Middle Danube. According to the unreliable Historia Augusta he was the son of Eutropius, a nobleman from the province of Moesia Superior, and Claudia, a niece of the emperors Claudius Gothicus and Quintillus.[12] The same source also gives Claudius the nomina "Flavius Valerius" to strengthen his connection to Constantius.[13] Modern historians suspect this maternal connection to be a genealogical fabrication created by his son Constantine I,[14] and that his family was of humble origins.[2][1][b] Constantine probably sought to dissociate his father's background from the memory of Maximian.[15]
