Constantine II
c. 316 CE–c. 340 CE · Arles (Provence)
Constantine II (316–340 CE), eldest son of Constantine the Great, ruled the western provinces (Gaul, Hispania, and Britain) as co-emperor alongside his brothers Constantius II and Constans after their father's death in 337. Asserting a claim to seniority over the youngest brother, Constans, he invaded Italy in 340 and was killed in an ambush near Aquileia. His brief, dynastically focused reign left no documented dealings with figures of the Jewish, Christian-conciliar, or Greek philosophical traditions.

About Arles (Provence)
Arles, a city in Provence in southern France, had one of the oldest Jewish communities in the region, attested since late antiquity, and was a notable center of medieval Provençal Jewry, with scholars and physicians, until the Jews were expelled from Provence at the end of the fifteenth century.
