Constantius Chlorus
Flavius Valerius Constantius "Chlorus" ( – 25 July 306), also called Constantius I, was Roman emperor from 305 to 306. He was one of the four original members of the Tetrarchy established by Diocletian, first serving as caesar from 293 to 305 and then ruling as augustus until his death. Constantius was also father of Constantine the Great, the first Christian emperor of Rome. The nickname Chlorus () was first popularized by Byzantine-era historians and not used during the emperor's lifetime. After his re-conquering of Roman Britain, he was given the title 'Redditor Lucis Aeternae', meaning 'The Restorer of Eternal Light'. Of humble origin, Constantius had a distinguished military career and rose to the top ranks of the army. Around 289 he set aside Helena, Constantine's mother, to marry a daughter of Emperor Maximian, and in 293 was added to the imperial college by Maximian's colleague, Diocletian. Assigned to rule Gaul, Constantius defeated the usurper Carausius th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Simplicius, Constantius and Victorinus (''Victorian(us)'') ( it, Simplicio, Costanzo e Vittoriano) are venerated as Christianity, Christian martyrs of the 2nd century.Benedictine Monks, ''Book of the Saints'' (Kessinger Publishing, 2003), 246. Simplicius, was, according to tradition, a Christian of the Abruzzi region who was executed along with his two sons, Constantius and Victorian, during the reign of Marcus Aurelius. Their ''Passio'' contains all of the tropes of the genre. It is believed that the martyrdoms are genuine but that the three martyrs were not necessarily related to one another, but were executed together at Marsica. The earliest source on their lives dates from a ''Passio'' of 1406. The ''Passio'' states that Simplicius and his entire family, natives of Bourgogne, were baptized by Saint Januarius (not, according to Antonio Borrelli, Saint Januarius, the famous saint of Naples) during the reign of Antoninus Pius (138-161).

Constantius (Theban Legion)
Saint Constantius ( it, San Costanzo) is venerated as a member of the legendary Theban Legion. Similar to the cults of Saint Chiaffredo at Crissolo, Saint Bessus at Val Soana, Saint Tegulus at Ivrea, Saint Magnus at Castelmagno, and Saint Dalmatius at Borgo San Dalmazzo, the cult of Saint Constantius was linked with that of the Theban Legion to lend antiquity to a local saint about whom nothing was really known. According to tradition, Constantius survived the decimation of his Legion and fled to the Val Maira, today in the province of Cuneo, with some other survivors. These included Constantine, Dalmatius, Desiderius, Isidore, Magnus, Olympius, Pontius, Theodore, and Victor. They dedicated themselves to preaching the Christian religion, but all of them, except for Constantius, were soon killed by the Roman authorities. Constantius buried his companions.

Constantius Of Aquino
Saint Constantius of Aquino ( it, Costanzo di Aquino) (6th century) was a bishop of Aquino in Italy, noted for his gift of prophecy, and a saint. He is commemorated in the Roman Martyrology on Sept. 1. Gregory the Great noted the only certain dates of Constantius's life: he was already bishop of Aquino during the life of Saint Benedict, who died in 543; and he himself died during the papacy of Pope John III (561-574). Gregory also records his last prophecy: on his deathbed Constantius foretold that he would be succeeded by a muleteer and a washerman, after which Aquino would have no more bishops. The next bishop after him was his deacon, Andrew, who had once been a muleteer, and after Andrew, Jovinus, a former washerman. During his episcopacy Aquino was overrun by the Lombards. Many of the inhabitants were killed by the invaders, and many more died of a plague, and there was no-one left fit to be bishop, whereby Constantius's prophecy was fulfilled.

Constantius Of Capri
Constantius (born, Antonii de Ripolis; Italian, San Costanzo di Capri) (died 7th or 8th century, near Marina Grande) was a Bishop of the Catholic Church who, after many years wandering, became the patron saint of Capri.

Constantii'' date from the end of the 10th century, when the saint's protection was invoked at Capri and Amalfi against Saracen raiders.
