Historical background


CONSTANTINE I THE GREAT

(07/25/306-05/22/337)

Caesar

Constantine was proclaimed august on the death of his father in York in 306. In order not to offend Galerius and Severus, he contented himself with the title of Caesar recognized by Galerius, who had become "Senior Augustus". Constantine controls Gaul and Brittany. He resumed the title of august on December 25, 307 after having married Fausta, the daughter of Maximien Hercule.
