Constantinian family tree, showing Constantine I and his children

This article chronicles the attested movements of the fourth-century Roman emperors Constantine II (referred to here as Constantinus), Constantius II (referred to here as Constantius), Constans, Gallus, and Julian the Apostate from 337 to 361 AD. It does not cover the imperial usurpers of the period, including Magnentius, Vetranio, Claudius Silvanus, and Poemenius.[1] The chronology is principally derived from Timothy Barnes' Athanasius and Constantius.[2] Substantial additions and further sources are based on recent research that seeks to go beyond Barnes' own chronology and slightly modifying his at a few places.

This article begins its coverage at the death of Constantine on 22 May 337. After an interregnum of three months, during or after which the army and its agents lynched other potential successors, the three sons of Constantine declared themselves Augusti on 9 September 337.[3] Discarding their father's succession arrangements, the brothers divided the empire into three parts.[4][notes 1] Constantine II ruled the provinces of Gaul, Britain, Spain, and Germany from Trier.[6][notes 2] Constantius ruled the provinces of Asia Minor (the dioceses of Pontus and Asia), Thrace, the Levant and Egypt (the Diocese of the East) from Antioch.[8] Constans ruled Italy, Africa, and the dioceses of Pannonia, Dacia, and Macedonia from Naissus.[9]

In 340, Constantinus attempted to seize his brother Constans' territory, and was killed while reconnoitering Ravenna during the ensuing civil war. Constans acquired his territory, and ruled from Trier, Milan, and Sirmium.[10] In January 350, Constans was overthrown at Autun and killed at Elne in a palace revolution instigated by Magnentius. Magnentius was defeated and killed in the summer of 353 at the Battle of Mons Seleucus, making Constantius the sole emperor.[11]

From 351 to 359, Constantius ruled from Sirmium and Milan, and from Constantinople and Antioch.[12] Constantius appointed Gallus Caesar (subordinate emperor) on 15 March 351, and delegated the rule of the eastern provinces to him. Gallus ruled from Antioch.[13] He subsequently proved violent and cruel, and was recalled and executed in autumn 354.[14] Constantius appointed Julian, the last surviving male relative of Constantine other than himself, Caesar on 6 November 355.[15] Julian ruled the western provinces from Vienne, Sens, and Paris.[13] To address Persian influence and aggression on the eastern frontier, Constantius ruled from Antioch from 360 until his death.[12]

Julian's troops proclaimed him Augustus in February 360. Constantius did not recognize Julian's claim to the title, but was detained from campaigning against him by Persian raids. Constantius died on 3 November 361 after declaring Julian his successor.[16] Julian was sole emperor from Constantius' death until his own death in 363.[17] This article ends its coverage at Julian's death on 26 June 363.

A † indicates that a date or an event is uncertain. A superscript S indicates that the manuscript is corrupt, and has been emended to follow Otto Seeck's corrections in his edition of the Codex Theodosianus.[18] Manuscript details are given in brackets (as "mss. date" or "mss. year", etc.) for all emended texts. Unsourced events are purely conjectural. Note that some are based on triangulation of different sources and can be, as such, somewhat inexact. These cases have been noted.

    Notes

    1. ↑ The original succession plan would have had Dalmatius rule the dioceses of Thrace, Macedonia, and Hannibalianus rule Armenia and neighboring allied nations. Both were now dead.[5]
    2. ↑ Constantinus had ruled from Trier before 337 as well.[7]
    3. ↑ Constantius' titles in the inscription are Al[aman(nicus) ma]x. G[erm(anicus) max.], whereas he was merely Alaman(nicus) in an inscription dated to c. February 337,[19] implying that he won a victory over the Germans in a campaign in spring 337 or after.[20]
    4. ↑ The Codex Theodosianus 12.1.27 is a constitution addressed to Aurelius Celsinus, proconsul of Africa, which was not formally within Constantinus' dominions, but Constans'. The accuracy of the letter's date has therefore been challenged. Aurelius Celsinus was, however, proconsul of Africa from 337 to 340 (Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum 8.12272), and so the constitution may thus represent an attempt by Constantinus to assert his self-proclaimed primacy in the imperial college.[22]
    5. ↑ Zosimus (2.41) falsely describes Constans as the aggressor.[23]
    6. ↑ Barnes elsewhere dates this event—Athanasius' meeting with Constantius—to c. August.[24] After the meeting, Athanasius left Viminacium and traveled to Alexandria by way of Constantinople. He arrived on 23 November 337.[25]
    7. ↑ The inscription, dated to 340, shows that Constantius took the title Sarmaticus at some time between 337 and that year.[26]
    8. ↑ Jean-Paul Callu dates the meeting between Constantius and Constans to which Libanius refers to 340, after Constantinus' death, since Libanius is otherwise silent on the "triarchic period".[27]
    9. ↑ Barnes' earlier date for this event was "337, late".[28]
    10. ↑ Barnes was less confident about this dating in his "Imperial Chronology", where it was marked with a "?".[28] Barnes argues for the spring dating, without confirmatory data, on the basis of the itineraries of Athanasius and Constantius in this period.[29]
    11. ↑ According to his papers, Abinnaeus visited the imperial court at Hierapolis with recruits from the Thebaid. The meeting occurred between two events whose date is known: on the one hand, Abinnaeus' earlier travels with the Blemmyes from Egypt's southern border to the Bosphorus, and, on the other, his command at Dionysias. Abinnaeus is attested at Dionysias from 29 March 342.[30] Barnes, from Eusebius' Vita Constantini, deduces that the trip to Constantinople with the Blemmyes occurred in the summer of 336.[31] Since Constantius' precise whereabouts are not known for any point between 27 December 338 and 12 August 340,[32] Barnes dates the emperor's meeting with Abinnaeus to this period.[33]
    12. ↑ Barnes was less confident about this identification in his "Imperial Chronology," where it was written as "Edessa?".[28]
    13. ↑ Barnes cites W. Elteser, Zeitschrift für die neutestamentliche Wissenschaft und die Kunde der alten Kirche 36 (1937) 254f. on the date; E. Schwartz, Zeitschrift für die neutestamentliche Wissenschaft und die Kunde der alten Kirche 34 (1935) 142, had dated the council to autumn 341.[34]
    14. ↑ A date of c. 350 is also possible.[35] Like most contemporary panegyrics, the Oratio 1 makes few overt references to political events.[36] Richard Foerster, the compiler of the modern edition of Libanius' works, Libanii Opera (1903), argued for a date in the 340s on the belief that Libanius wrote his Oratio 59 after seeing Themistius' speech. Foerster dated Oratio 59 to 348/9, a dating most scholars have since followed. Foerster adduced the attestation at Ancyra (where the speech was known to have been delivered) in the Codex Theodosianus 11.36.8 (see entry above) in favor of a 347 date.[37] In response to Foerter's view, Otto Seeck argued that since Constans is not mentioned, it must have been delivered after his death. The attestation in the Codex Theodosianus was not decisive, since Constantius would have passed Ancyra whenever he traveled through Asia Minor. Given that the only other date Constantius could have traveled along this path was in the Autumn of 350,[38] Seeck held that to be the only other plausible dating.[39] Most twentieth-century scholars followed Seeck.[40] Barnes and the scholar John Vanderspoel take the 347 date.[41] Although Barnes considers Foerster's premise on Themistius' influence on Libanius "erroneous", the absence of any remarks on the usurpations in the west makes a 350 dating untenable.[42] Vanderspoel argues that Themistius' allusion to the destruction of the Persian king by "the virtue of the emperor shining nearby",[43] when compared with the catalog of Roman victories against the Persians that occurred while Constantius was merely nearby, and not personally involved, points to a date between the two sieges of Singara in 346 and 348.[44]
    15. ↑ Callu, following H. Scholze, has noted that the localization in Ancyra is given only in the title of the oration, and is thus of dubious value.[45]
    16. ↑ Naeratius Cerealis became praefectus urbi on 27 September 352. Constantius would have been in attendance.[46]
    17. ↑ Messadensis is otherwise unknown.[47]
    18. ↑ Dinumma is otherwise unknown.[47]
    19. ↑ The manuscripts record both Haerbillio and Med[iolani]. Mommsen (in his edition of the Codex Theodosianus at 1.5.6 + 7) identified the location as Helvillum on the Via Flaminia between Spoletium and Ariminum.[48]
    20. ↑ The Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire, following Gothofredus and Mommsen, emends the year to 346.[49]
