about the life of Delmatius
Obtain a fast overview of the times of the Roman Emperor
Delmatius from the following facts and information about his life.
Delmatius was the son of
Flavius Dalmatius and the nephew of
Constantine the Great.
Delmatius was the son of
Flavius Dalmatius, the brother of Constantine the Great and
therefore the nephew of this famous emperor. Constantine the
Great requested the family of his brother Flavius Dalmatius
to join him in his new capital at Constantinople. On 19
September 335, Delmatius was raised to the rank of Caesar by
his uncle the Emperor Constantine I. The realm of Delmatius
included Thrace, Greece and Macedonia. Delmatius and his
brother Hannibalianus were clearly held in high favor by the
emperor. However, Constantine the Great died in May 337. On
9 September 337 Constantine II, Constantius II, and Constans
succeed their father Constantine the Great and rule as
co-emperors of the Roman Empire. Later that month a number
of descendants of Constantius Chlorus, the brother of
Constantine the Great, as well as many nobles and officials
of the Roman Empire, were executed. Delmatius and his
brother Hannibalianus were included in the murders.
Responsibility for this purge, or blood bath, was denied by
the three brothers, although the events which occurred
during their rules point to ruthless and blood thirsty
actions.
