10/28 312 AD Maxentius drowns after the bridge collapses beneath his troops during their retreat in the Battle at the Milvian Bridge on October 28th. He was a Roman Emperor from 306 to 312 and was married to Valeria Maximilla
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11/03 312 AD Constantius II by the time he reached Mopsuestia in Cilicia, it was clear that he was fatally ill and would not survive to face Julian. Constantius II died of fever on 3 November 361

My only Maxentius, RIC 210:

I have several Constantius II, but this one is from later in his reign. RIC VIII 361

... man, that sentence certainly conjures-up a pretty cool, but nasty visual, eh? (very cool battle-tale) ...

I'm becoming disappointed in the new Steve. The old one would have bought a new Maxentius just for this thread. Right?

I don't think Constantius II lived in 312 AD
