Virtus was a specific
virtue
in
Ancient Rome
. It carries connotations of valor, 
manliness, excellence, courage, character, and worth, perceived as masculine 
strengths (from Latin
vir, “man”). It was thus a 
frequently stated virtue of
Roman emperors
, and was personified
as a deity
.

Flavius Claudius  Constantinus, known in English as

Constantine II, (316-340) was

Roman Emperor

from 337

Campidoglio, Roma - Costantino II cesare dettaglio.jpgto 

340. The eldest son of

Constantine the Great

and

Fausta
, he was 

born at Arles
, 

and was raised as a Christian.

On

March 1
,

317, 

Constantine was made

Caesar

, and at the age of seven in 323, took part in his father’s campaign 

against the

Sarmatians

. At the age of ten he became commander of

Gaul, after the 

death of his half-brother

Crispus
. An 

inscription dating to 330 records the title of Alamannicus, so it is 

probable that his generals won a victory over the

Alamanni
. 

His military career continued when Constantine I elected his son field commander 

during the 332 campaign against the

Goths
.

Following the death of his father in 337, Constantine II 

became emperor jointly with his brothers

Constantius II

and

Constans
. 

After the division of the empire, made by the three brothers in September of the 

same year in Pannonia, he ruled over

Gaul,

Britannia

and

Hispania
.

He was involved in the struggle between the different 

Christian streams. The Western portion of the empire leaned towards

Catholicism

and against

Arianism
, 

and Constantine freed

Athanasius

and allowed him to return to

Alexandria
. 

This action also put some burden on Constantius II, who was a supporter of 

Arianism.

At first, he was the guardian of his younger brother Constans, whose portion 

was

Italia

,

Africa

and

Illyricum

. As Constans came of age, Constantine would not relinquish the 

guardianship and in 340 he marched against Constans in Italy, but was defeated 

at Aquileia
 

and he was killed in an ambush in

Cervignano del Friuli

. Constans came to control his deceased brother’s 

realm.

 

Division of the Roman Empire among the Caesars appointed by

Constantine I: from left to right, the territories of Constantine II,

Constans I,
Dalmatius 
and

Constantius II. After the death of Constantine I (May 337), this was the 
formal division of the Empire, until Dalmatius was killed and his territory 
divided between Constans and Constantius
