Constantius I Chlorus
January 28, 2004
Emperor Flavius Valerius Constantius was born on March 31st around 250 AD. It is known that his family was from the province of Illyricum. He served in the army as a protector, then as tribunus and finally as a praeses Dalmatiarum. Approximately between 270 and 280 AD his son Constantine (later the Great) was born from his first marriage with Helena. In 288 AD he became Praetorian Prefect of the western emperor Maximianus Herrculius. He was commonly called Chlorus (the Pale), an epithet passed to us from Byzantine historians.

Census figures for the Roman Empire
January 16, 2004
Latinclass1 a new member from our Roman Empire Forum, asked an interesting question about the population of the provinces during the Pax Romana.
The census figures for the Roman Empire are all estimates. The Roman census was mainly designed to register people for paying of taxes. Mostly the census counted male heads of households for just this purpose, but Augustus seems to have added women, children and perhaps non-citizens. The census of Rome in 70 BC was recorded at about 900,000, but Augustus' figures place it at over 4 million, less than 50 years later in 28 BC.
