		Magnentius quickly attracted the loyalty of the provinces in Britain, Gaul, and the rest of western Europe, in part because he proved to be far more tolerant towards both Christians and pagans.

		Magnentius made a final stand the following year in the Battle of Mons Seleucus, after which he committed suicide.

	Magnentius
		Magnentius was born at about AD 303 around Samarobriva (Amiens) to an English father and a Frankish mother.
		Constans, under whom Magnentius came to serve in the west, was deeply unpopular with the troops as well as ruling his part of the empire as a tyrant.
		Magnentius made an effort to win Vetranio for his cause, but in vain, as it appeared Vetranio was a puppet of Constantius II who handed him control of the legions later that year and retired.

	The Oxford Classical Dictionary and Michael Grant on Magnentius the Gallic usurper
		Magnentius, Flavius Magnus, from a family of barbarian settlers in Gaul, rose to a senior military command under the emperor Constans.
		Magnentius had raised large forces in Gaul, including numerous Germans, and in consequence outnumbered Constantius II, who as he advanced westwards was defeated with heavy losses at Atrans, on the border of Italy and Noricum, and compelled to retreat.
		Magnentius reportedly lost twenty-four thousand men and Constantius thirty thousand; this was the bloodiest battle of the century, and inflicted irreparable losses upon the Empire’s military strength.

		On another point, the question of legitimacy is not always easy to solve in the case of such rulers as Maxentius, Vetranio and Magnus Maximus; I have generally taken refuge in the level of their acceptance by other emperors rather than their later reputation, but some scholars may dispute my conclusions.
		The question is whether her father, L. Flavius Septimius Aper Octavianus and known to be the son of a Lucius, is the same person as L. Septimius Aper, consul in 207.
		Magnus Maximus' link to the family, I propose, is the result of an uncle's marriage to Theodosius' sister.

		Magnentius, 18 January 350 - 10 August 353 A.D. Flavius Magnus Magnentius may have once been a slave owned by Constantine the Great.
		This kindness Magnentius most ungratefully requited with treachery, and the basest machinations, through which the Emperor fell a victim, and this usurper obtained the empire, after having assumed the purple at Autun (Augustodunum), A.D. He was a man of studious habits, powerful in conversation, but hard-hearted and cruel.
		He named as Caesar his brother Decentius whom he sent with the army to defend Gaul beyond the Alps; and he himself marched against Constantius, brother of Constans, whose terms of peace he had rashly rejected, and by whom he was defeated in two engagements, one in Italy, the other in Gaul.

	The Collapse
		Loyalties soon waned and when Magnentius was acclaimed by the legions while the emperor was away hunting, Constans could only flee for his life, only to be overtaken and slain on the Spanish coast.
		If Magnentius in AD 350 was recognized immediately in the prefectures of Gaul and Italy, then in Illyria another general Vetranio was set up as emperor.
		Though Magnentius himself was not dead, he sought to continue the war, but his troops gradually deserted him.
