Anastasia (daughter of Constantius I)
Anastasia († after 314) was a member of the Constantinian dynasty - she was a daughter of the Roman emperor Constantius Chlorus and a half-sister of Constantine the Great - in the first half of the 4th century Roman empress.
Anastasia came from the marriage of Constantius I to Flavia Maximiana Theodora , a stepdaughter of Emperor Maximian . Her siblings were Julius Constantius , Flavius Dalmatius and Flavius Hannibalianus as well as Constantia and Eutropia . Constantine came from an earlier connection between Constantius and Helena and was therefore only her half-brother. In 313 or 314, Anastasia was married to Bassianus , whom Constantine soon designated as sub-emperor ( Caesar ) . However, Bassianus betrayed Constantine and was executed by him (at the latest) in 316. Baths in Constantinople , the Thermae Anastasianae , were named after Anastasia .
