Dalmatius

Flavius Julius Dalmatius, born around the year three hundred twenty, was a prominent figure in the Roman Empire, serving as caesar from three hundred thirty-five until his untimely death in three hundred thirty-seven. He was entrusted with the governance of key regions including Thrace, Macedonia, and Achaea under the reign of Emperor Constantine the Great.

The son of Flavius Dalmatius, Constantine's half-brother, Dalmatius received a distinguished education during his family's exile in Toulouse. He was mentored by Bishop Exuperius and later by the esteemed poet Aemilius Magnus Arborius in Constantinople, where he was raised to become the fourth caesar alongside his brothers, Constantine II, Constans I, and Constantius II.

Tragically, Dalmatius's life was cut short when he was murdered by his own soldiers during a brutal massacre that targeted the male members of the Constantinian dynasty following the death of Constantine. His territories were subsequently divided between Constantius II and Constans I, marking a significant shift in the power dynamics of the empire.
