Fausta, also known as Flavia Maxima Fausta and Empress Fausta, was the daughter of Maximian who married Constantine at Arles as a pledge of alliance. She became the mother of three sons who would inherit the empire—Constantine II, Constantius II, and Constans. Her life ended in tragedy when she was accused of adultery and possibly executed in a bath.
