Interesting facts
about the life of Hannibalianus
Obtain a fast overview of the times of the Roman Emperor
Hannibalianus from the following facts and information about his life.
Hannibalianus 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. Delmatius
and his brother Hannibalianus were clearly held in high
favor by the emperor. In 335AD Hannibalianus eventually
married Constantine's elder daughter, Constantina and was
made nobilissimus, a title often used to refer to the
designated heir. At the start of the campaign of Constantine
against the Persians, Hannibalianus was made Rex Regum et
Ponticarum Gentium, "King of the Kings and of the Ponthic
People". But the campaign never happened as 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. Hannibalianus and his brother Delmatius were
included in these murders. Responsibility for this purge was
denied by the three brothers, although the events which
occurred during their rules point to ruthless and blood
thirsty actions.
