Constantius I (Latin: Marcus Flavius Valerius Constantius Herculius Augustus; 31
March c. 250 - 25 July 306) was Roman Emperor from 293 to 306, commonly known as
Constantius Chlorus (Greek: Κωνστάντιος Χλωρός, Kōnstantios Khlōrós, literally "Constantius
the Pale"). He was the father of Constantine the Great and founder of the
Constantinian dynasty.
As Caesar, he defeated the usurper Allectus in Britain and campaigned
extensively along the Rhine frontier, defeating the Alamanni and Franks. Upon
becoming Augustus in 305, Constantius launched a successful punitive campaign
against the Picts beyond the Antonine Wall. However, Constantius died suddenly
in Eboracum (York) the following year. His death sparked the collapse of the
tetrarchic system of government inaugurated by the Emperor Diocletian.
