Decentius, Magnentius' brother, became Caesar, in 351 after his brother took control of Italy. Battles with Constantius II didn't go well and both brothers eventually committed suicide, Magnentius in Lugdunum August 10, 353, and eight days later Decentius in Sens, leaving Constantius II in sole command of the Roman Empire. Justina, Magnentius' very young wife, survived and became the second wife of Valentinian I circa 370 and mother of Valentinian II who reigned 375-392.
