Something wrong?The youngest son of Constantine the Great who survived one brother's invasion only to be overthrown by his own general a decade later. The propaganda that followed his death in 350 painted him as a tyrant - standard script for a usurper looking to justify the kill.

Flavius Julius Constans was made caesar at ten and emperor at fourteen, inheriting Italy, Illyricum, and Africa when his father died in 337. He beat back the Sarmatians, then fought his own brother: Constantine II invaded Italy in 340 and died near Aquileia, leaving Constans the west. He pushed into Frankish territory, crossed to Roman Britain in 343 - the last emperor to set foot there for over a millennium - and clashed with his surviving brother Constantius II over theology and exiled bishops. In January 350, Magnentius, commander of an elite corps, was proclaimed emperor at Autun and killed Constans. The sources that survive, likely shaped by Magnentius's camp, accuse the dead emperor of misrule and sexual deviance.
