Constantius II: Roman Emperor 337-361 AD. He was a son of Constantine I the Great and Fausta. After the death of his father he ruled jointly with his brothers Constantine II and Constans I.
The three brothers divided the Empire, with Constantius II receiving Greece, Thrace, the Asian provinces, and Egypt in the east. His brothers quarrelled over the western provinces, resulting in a civil war.

The resulting conflict left Constantine II dead and Constans as ruler of the west until he was overthrown and assassinated in 350 by the usurper Magnentius. Unwilling to accept Magnentius as co-ruler, Constantius defeated him at the battles of Mursa Major and Mons Seleucus, leaving Constantius as sole ruler of the empire.

Constantius also played an active role in the religious controversies of his age and supported the Homoian form of Christianity. His coinage frequently emphasised dynastic legitimacy, military victory, security and the Emperor’s role as restorer and protector of the Roman world.

Constantius II died of fever in 361 AD and was succeeded by his nephew Julian.

FEL TEMP REPARATIO: FELicium TEMPorum REPARATIO, meaning 'Restoration of happy times'.
