Flavia Julia Constantia was the daughter of the Roman Emperor Constantius Chlorus and his second wife, Flavia Maximiana Theodora. In 313, Emperor Constantine I, who was the half-Brother of Constantia, gave her in marriage to his co-emperor Licinius, on occasion of their meeting in Mediolanum. She bore a son, Valerius Licinianus Licinius, in 315, and when the strugglebetween Constantine and Licinius began in 316, she stayed on her husband's side. A second war started between the two emperors in 324; after Licinius' defeat, Constantia interceded with Constantine for her husband's life. Constantine sparedLicinius life, and obliged him to live in Thessalonica as a private citizen, but the following year (325), he ordered that Licinius be killed. A second blow for Constantia was the Death, also by order of Constantine, of her son Valerius. In the following years, Constantia lived at her Brother's court, receiving honors (her title was nobilissima femina). She converted to Christianity, supporting the Arian party at the First Council of Nicaea (325). The city of Constan?a, Romania is named after her. |
