A student of Maximus of Ephesus, this person avoided intrigue due to his obscure upbringing by Eusebius the Arian in Bithynia. This son of Basilina and Julius Constantius, was eventually forced to transfer his capital to Antioch to campaign against the Persians, who killed him at Ctesiphon. That campaign markedly differed from his early successes against the Franks and Alemanni following his ascension due to the execution of Gallus. A nephew of Constantine the great, he was hailed as Augustus by his troops after they were ordered east by Constantius II, his rival. For ten points, name this late Roman emperor, the last pagan to hold the throne, who takes his epithet from his widespread efforts to restore the pagan faith across the Emperor.
