Historical background


CONSTANTINE III

(407- summer 411)

Constantine III seizes power in England in 407 and goes to Gaul to try to stem the wave of barbarian invasions. Trèves was taken on December 31, 406, and in 408 he conquered Spain. At the beginning of his reign, with four Gs on the reverse of the coins, he recognized four augusts: Arcadius, Honorius, Theodosius II and himself. The years 408-411 are among the darkest in the history of Gaul and the West. In 411, we have seven augusts: Honorius and Theodosius II, Constantine III and Constans, Maximus, Attalus and Jovin. Constantine III, after being betrayed by his Spanish general Gerontius is besieged by Constantius, taken prisoner, sent to Honorius and executed.
