Flavius Magnus Magnentius may have once been a slave owned by Constantine the Great. He was a general of great skill, becoming one of the empires foremost military leaders during the reign Constans. However, in 350 A.D. he rebelled and took control of the Western provinces. Not content with official recognition by Constantius II, he invaded the latter's territory and after some initial success, met with a great defeat at Mursa. After a retreat into Gaul, he was abandoned by his soldiers and committed suicide.
