Augustus of the Western Roman Empire / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Constantius III (Latin: Flavius Constantius Augustus) was a military commander (and briefly co-emperor) from the late Roman Empire.[1] He earned his position as emperor due to his capability as a general under Honorius, achieving the rank of Magister militum by 411.[2] He defeated a number of usurpers and forced barbarian groups into treaties.[3] His campaigns against various barbarian groups in Hispania and Gaul resulted in recovering much of both for the Western Roman Empire. Constantius was part of a tradition of military commanders who held sway over the emperor and intermarried with royalty with the hopes of producing an heir; unlike most of these commanders, Constantius himself was proclaimed Western Roman Emperor by Honorius on 8 February 421. Constantius married Galla Placidia, the sister of the emperor Honorius. He reigned for seven months before dying on 2 September 421.[4]
