Constantius II (b. Dalmatia (now in Croatia) - d. 2 Sep 421, Ravenna (Italy)), Roman 
emperor in 421.

Constantius came from Naissus (modern Nis, Yugoslavia) in the province of Moesia. In 
411, as magister militium ("master of the soldiers") under the western Roman emperor 
Flavius Honorius (reigned 393-423), Constantius helped to overthrow the usurping 
emperor Constantine (Flavius Claudius Constantinus) at Arelate (modern Arles, 
France). He drove the Visigoths from southern Gaul into Spain in 415 but later recalled 
the tribe and settled it in southwestern Gaul. In 417 he married the emperor's half 
sister Galla Placidia. Appointed co-emperor of the West by Honorius, with the title 
augustus, on 8 Feb 421, Constantius died without having been recognized by the 
eastern emperor, Theodosius II. Constantius' son by Placida ruled the West as the 
emperor Valentinian III from 425 to 455.
