CONSTANTIUS, FLAVIUS VALERIUS

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 11 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COM-COR
CONSTANTIUS, FLAVIUS VALERIUS , commonly called CHLORUS (the
Pale
 ), an epithet due to the Byzantine historians, Roman emperor and father of Constantine the
Great
 , was born about A.D. 250. He was of Illyrian origin; a fictitious connexion with the family of
Claudius
  Gothicus was attributed to him by Constantine. Having distinguished himself by his military ability and his able and gentle rule of Dalmatia, he was, on the 1st of March 293, adopted and appointed Caesar by Maximian, whose step-daughter, Flavia Maximiana Theodora, he had married in 289 after renouncing his wife
Helena
  (the mother of Constantine). In the distribution of the provinces Gaul and Britain were allotted to Constantius. In Britain Carausius and subsequently Allectus had declared themselves independent, and it was not till 296 that, by the defeat of Allectus, it was re-united with the empire. In 298 Constantius overthrew the Alamanni in the territory of the Lingones (Langres) and strengthened the Rhine frontier. During the persecution of the Christians in 303 he behaved with
great
  humanity. He obtained the title of
Augustus
  on the 1st of May 305, and died the following year shortly before the 25th of July at Eboracum (
York
 ) during an expedition against the Picts and Scots.
See Aurelius
Victor
 , De Caesaribus, 39; Eutropius ix. 14-23; Zosimus ii. 7.
