Flavia Julia Constantia was the sister of Constantine and widow of Licinius, who pleaded with tears for her son's life. At about five years of age, she was shown to the multitude in the arms of her adopted father, traveling in a litter accompanying the army. As a royal maid, daughter of Constantius and granddaughter of Constantine, she was destined to be the wife of the Western heir and narrowly escaped Barbarian capture.
