Constantius Chlorus
c. 250 CE–c. 306 CE · Naissus (Niš)
Constantius Chlorus (c. 250–306) was a Roman general of Illyrian origin from the Danubian region (Dardania, in Moesia Superior) who became one of the four original members of Diocletian's Tetrarchy, first as Caesar (293) and then as Western Augustus (305), governing Gaul and Britain. During the Diocletianic persecution begun in 303, he enforced the first edict only minimally in his western provinces — reportedly limited to demolishing some church buildings rather than persecuting Christians themselves — making him the least zealous of the four Tetrarchs against Christians, a leniency later emphasized in Christian tradition. He died at Eboracum (York) in Britain in 306, after which his troops acclaimed his son Constantine the Great as emperor.
