This edited collection focuses on the Roman empire during the
period from AD 337 to 361. During this period the empire was ruled
by three brothers: Constantine II (337-340), Constans I (337-350)
and Constantius II (337-361). These emperors tend to be cast into
shadow by their famous father Constantine, the first Christian
Roman emperor (306-337), and their famous cousin Julian, the last
pagan Roman emperor (361-363). The traditional concentration on the
historically renowned figures of Constantine and Julian is
understandable but comes at a significant price: the neglect of the
period between the death of Constantine and the reign of Julian and
of the rulers who governed the empire in this period. The reigns of
the sons of Constantine, especially that of the longest-lived
Constantius II, mark a moment of great historical significance. As
the heirs of Constantine they became the guardians of his legacy,
and they oversaw the nature of the world in which Julian was to
grow up. The thirteen contributors to this volume assess their
influence on imperial, administrative, cultural, and religious
facets of the empire in the fourth century.
