 | | Flavius Claudius Jovianus was born in the town of Singidunum (modern Belgrade) in the year 330 or 331 A. His father, Varronian, was a distinguished soldier who had served under Constantius II, first, as a tribune in the Joviani legion, and, later, as "comes domesticorum" (count). |
 | | Jovian married a woman named Charito, by whom he had two children, one of which, was named Varronian, in honor of Jovian’s father, and who was to be proclaimed co-consul with Jovian in 364. |
 | | Jovian’s brother, Januarius, was considered as a possible successor at first, but was passed over in favor of Valens and Valentinian I. Jovian’s body was sent to Constantinople where it was buried with his various predecessors in the Church of the Holy Apostles. |
