Constans, Flavius Julius (c. AD 323-350)

Roman emperor from 337, youngest son of the emperor Constantine the Great and Fausta. He was made Caesar 333 AD, and when his father died 337 he became joint emperor with his brothers Constantine II and Constantius II. He was given Italy, Africa, and western Illyricum to rule. In 340 he defeated Constantine II and became ruler of the whole of the Western Roman Empire.
