Historical Context

Constantine II was a son of Constantine the Great and held the title Caesar before becoming Augustus in AD 337. He received territories in the western part of the empire after his father’s death.

A dispute with his brother Constans led Constantine II to invade Italy in AD 340. He was defeated and killed near Aquileia, ending a short independent reign.
