Flavius Claudius Constantius Gallus (ca. 325/326 - 354), better known as
Constantius Gallus, was a member of the Constantinian dynasty and Caesar of the
Roman Empire (351-354). Gallus was consul three years, from 352 to 354.
Son of Julius Constantius by his first wife Galla, Gallus' paternal grandparents
were Western Roman Emperor Constantius Chlorus and his second wife Flavia
Maximiana Theodora.
Julius Constantius was also a half-brother of Roman Emperor Constantine I, and
thus Gallus was a first cousin of Emperors Constantine II, Constantius II and
Constans.
The older sister of Gallus, of unknown name, was the first wife of Constantius
II. Julius Constantius had married a second wife, Basilina, who had borne him a
son, Flavius Claudius Iulianus, later emperor, and known as Julian.
