Flavius Valerius Constantius, Caesar 293 - 305, Augustus 305 - 306

A patrician from the eastern Mediterranean, Constantius was appointed as Caesar in the western empire by Diocletian and Maximian in 293. On his appointment, he set about recapturing Britain for the empire. In 296 he succeeded. On the abdications of Diocletian and Maximian, Constantius was declared western Augustus. He successfully repelled an invasion of Picts into northern Roman Britain, but died of natural causes shortly afterwards in York, where he was probably buried. His nickname, "Chlorus", means "pale man" and probably refers to the emperor's complexion.
