DELMATIUS (Flavius Julius) was the son of Dematius, brother of Constantine the Great, who was elevated to the office of Caeser. He was born at Toulouse, or, as some say, Arles. His mother's name is unknown. Being a favorite with his uncle Constantine, whom he resembled in character, he was elected Consul in A. 333 and two years afterwards (335) was created Caeser.

Whilst yet is a private capacity, he defeated Calaocerus, who revolted in Cyprus, and brought him prisoner to his uncle, who consigned him to the flames. In the memorable partition of the empire, which Constantine made in the latter year, Delmatius received as his share Thrace, Macedonia and Achaia ; but shortly after the decease of Constantine. He was put to death by the soldiers, A. 337, under the pretence of desiring to be governed only by the children of Constantine; and this was done with the connivance of Constantius II.

Who was envious of him. Rich nearly black patina--nicer in hand--very small coin shown extremely enlarged. OUR GUARANTEE: All illustrations are of the actual item offered. The authenticity of all pieces is fully guaranteed.
