Constantine II (Latin: Flavius Claudius Constantinus; 316 – 340) was Roman emperor from 337 to 340.
The son of the emperor Constantine I, he was proclaimed Caesar by his father shortly after his birth. For his association with military victories during his career, he was granted a number of victory titles.[3] He held the consulship four times - in 320, 321, 324, and 329.
After his father's death in 337, Constantine II ascended to the throne and ruled as emperor alongside his two brothers. However, his belief in his rights of primogeniture and attempts to exert them caused conflict, which ended with his death in a failed invasion of Italy in 340.
