Julius Constantius

With his first wife, Galla, sister of the later consuls Vulcacius Rufinus and Neratius Cerealis,[3] he had two sons and a daughter.

[9] Basilina gave him another son, the future emperor Julian, but died before her husband in 332/333.

[10] Allegedly at the instigation of Constantine's mother Helena,[11] Julius Constantius did not live initially at the court of his half brother, but together with Dalmatius and Hannibalianus in Tolosa, in Etruria, the birthplace of his son Gallus, and in Corinth.

[12] It was only after Helena’s death that he was called to Constantinople,[12] and was able to build a good relationship with Constantine.

[13] Constantine favoured his half-brother, appointing him patricius and Consul for the year 335, together with Ceionius Rufius Albinus.
