Notes:
Anastasia, the half-sister of Constantine I, was the daughter ofConstantius I and Theodora; she was married to a certain Bassianus. Ifthe text of Anonymous Valesianus (5.14-15) is to be believed, the couplehad a hand in causing the first civil war between Constantine I andLicinius in 314 A.D. Constantine sent Julius Constantius to Licinius tourge him to accept Bassianus as Caesar of Italy; the latter allegedlytook up arms against the emperor through the agency of his brotherSenecio, a trusted agent of Licinius. Constantine was informed of theplot and ordered that Bassianus be killed. When Licinius did not returnSenecio to the emperor for punishment, the easy peace between the twoemperors ceased.
