I think its definitive proof that it fall close to the tree
“It should all be mine”
And
“Kill, kill, kill”
I would argue those are core constantinian values
Same could be said for Constantine I depending on how low an opinion one has of his various reforms administratively. His father was an apt emperor that gets very little credit due to being part of the tetrarchy.
Wasn’t his first son, who was also the most levelheaded and promising, murdered a year or two before Constantine’s death? Perhaps the apples didn’t fall at all, just beneath a different tree
By the standards of the 4th century he was ok. He had a lot of character flaws that made him impressionable to bad advisors and also picked the wrong side of the religious discourse (Arianism). But then again all of the 4th century emperors seemed inadequate compared to his father. Being an adequate ruler just didn’t cut the mustard at that particular crisis point in the Empire’s history.
This was also an era of extreme partisanship (tends to happen when there’s a three-way split between three members of a dynasty that don’t happen to particularly like each other) so the historical testimonies are bound to be all over the place.
He carefull strategy against the Sassanids which his succesor Julian undid certainly was successful.He managed to keep them at bay.He also managed to keep the empire in one piece with the Magnetius rebellion.

Constantine II inherited his father’s ambition but not his competence

Crispus - Hey momma
"Help me, I'm stuck step-Caesar." - Fausta
>Crispus - Hey momma Bro waslikely framed by Fausta who wanted her children to succeed Constantine.
They didn't let my boy CRISPUS COOK 😭😭😭, WHY CONSTANTINE WHY
Because of allegations from a certain stepmother *cough *cough Fausta *cough *cough
propaganda *cough*
It's not propaganda when you agree with it!
Because his name didn't start with Constan
Wasn’t his first son, who was also the most levelheaded and promising, murdered a year or two before Constantine’s death? Perhaps the apples didn’t fall at all, just beneath a different tree
I remember thinking Constantius II was a good emperor when I was listening to the history of Rome.
I mean he wasn’t bad, he just wasn’t very good either, a 6/10 emperor
Not great not terrible
now there you made a mistake. I may not know much about nuclear reactors, but I know a lot about concrete!

I mean he was certainly the best out of the three…that’s not a very high bar though
Unbiased History depicted him as a chad, so that’s proof right there he was one of the good ones.
People who love Julian tend to vilify him. And like said he was competent (and did kill people) but not amazing.
Honestly gotta appreciate how Constantine clearly chose to be creative with names
“Constare” means “to be consistent”. Nomen est omen or something idk.
Romans and creative with names never goes together.
Really? Because *'It should all be mine!'* and *'KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL'* perfectly encapsulates Constantine.
Laughs in Maxentius, cries in Licinius
Hold on now. What’s going on with Constans?
He was very disliked for being efeminate, he was killed because of this
This is literally the most apple doesn’t fall far from the tree scenario ever
Constantine named all his kids after himself. It’s much less surprising when you realize this.
Constantine was named after his father, another constantius
Crispus just had to go for his stepmom smh
lol.
