Honoria, Paulus Constantius and Constantius III: their family links

Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyse a series of late Roman inscriptions from Salona (modern Solin, Croatia) in order to establish possible links between the people mentioned in them and the imperial families of the 4th and 5th centuries. Special attention will be paid to two funerary epigraphs: one of them, a double inscription dedicated to a woman called Honoria and her husband, Paulus Constantius, the other one a funerary inscription mentioning a young woman who was a relative, probably a daughter, of an emperor described as (di)vi Constanti. The data from these epigraphs will be set against the broader historical context of their time, with the analysis of the relevant written sources.
