Eusebius (consul 347)
Roman consul From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flavius Eusebius (died c. AD 350) was a Roman military officer and politician. He is usually identified as the father of Eusebia, and consequently as the posthumous father-in-law of the Roman emperor Constantius II.
Born in Thessalonica to a family of Macedonian descent, Eusebius served prior to AD 347 as the Magister equitum et peditum in the east, probably under the emperor Constantius II.[1] During his time as military commander, he intervened in Armenia, possibly to suppress the revolt of Bacour.[2]
After he had retired from this post, he held the rank of Comes and was made consul posterior alongside Vulcacius Rufinus in AD 347.
Eusebius was probably a Christian.[3] He had at least three children: his sons Flavius Eusebius and Flavius Hypatius held the consulship together in AD 359, and his daughter Eusebia married Emperor Constantius II after her father had died.[4]
