Constantine III

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

Constantine III (lived 5th century AD)

Roman usurper emperor 408–10, a military leader. He began service as a common soldier in Britain during the reign of Honorius (AD 395–423). His troops proclaimed him emperor 407 and overran most of Gaul. Honorius acknowledged him emperor 408, to win his support against the Goths. Constantine then advanced into Italy, hoping to depose Honorius. When his general Gerontius rebelled, he was forced to return to Gaul, where Honorius's general Constantius III defeated him at Arles 410. Constantine was executed.
