Constans was the youngest son of Constantine I and Fausta. He became Augustus on his father's death, alongside his elder brothers, Constantine II and Constantius II. Constans ruled Italy, North Africa and parts of the Dalmatian coast. The brothers purged almost all of the rest of the Constantinian family. Constans came into conflict with his eldest brother, Constantine, whom Constans defeated and killed in battle in 340, taking control of his brother's lands in the West. Constans himself was killed 10 years later while fleeing from the revolt of Magnetius.
