<p>[QUOTE=&quot;old49er, post: 2979504, member: 78229&quot;]Hi everyone, Seems I have the Ancient bug going strong here. I am liking these Ancients more and more as time goes by.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I have learned a lot from you all! Thanks go out to all of you. Just picked this one up recently. Delmatius had a short lived career as an Emperor it appears. Do you think the sons of Constantine actually committed the murderous purges I have been reading about?&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>Delmatius, AE follis. Siscia.

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.copyright @ siteseen. Feel free to post your Delmatius or anything related. Would enjoy seeing them.</p><p><a href="http://www.tribunesandtriumphs.org/roman-emperors/constantine.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.tribunesandtriumphs.org/roman-emperors/constantine.htm" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p><a href="http://www.tribunesandtriumphs.org/roman-emperors/constantine.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.tribunesandtriumphs.org/roman-emperors/constantine.htm" rel="nofollow"></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
