| Notes |
- Theodora was the step-daughter of the emperor Maximianus, and thusputting aside Helena and marrying her (probably in about 289) made goodpolitical sense for Constantius Chlorus. Constantius became Caesar on hisfather-in-law's abdication. Theodora's marriage did, of course, gain herchildren and grand-children the enmity of St. Helena, who long outlivedher rival.
Theodora bore Constantius six children, including a daughter Anastasia("Resurrection"), whose name is offered as evidence by those proposingConstantius I Chlorus as a Christian, or at least a Christiansympathizer. Among her other children was a son Julius Constantius, thefather of Gallus and Julian. She was half-sister to Constantine I's wife,Fausta.
From Michael DiMaio, Jr., Salve Regina University -
Theodora (wife of Constantius I Chlorus) - Theodora was the eldestdaughter, or perhaps stepdaughter, of Maximianus Herculius and his wifeEutropia. In order to strengthen the dynastic relationship betweenhimself and Herculius when Maximianus Herculius appointed him as hisCaesar (junior emperor) in the west with the right of succession on 1March 293, Constantius I put aside his wife Helena and married Theodora.She bore him six children: Flavius Dalmatius, Julius Constantius,Hannibalianus, Constantia, Anastasia, and Eutropia.
