Constantine II was the oldest son of Constantine I and inherited all the
Western portions of the empire except for Africa and Italy. Not content with
this much he bullied his brother Constans and tried wresting these possessions
away from him. When Constans had had enough and cut off communications with
Constantine the elder reacted by bringing his army into Northern Italy. But
Constans had anticipated these events and was well-prepared to meet him. Caught
off-guard by this counter-offensive, Constantine was killed in the fight and his
possessions became Constans.
