Flavius Hannibalianus
Flavius Hannibalianus (* after 289; † before 337) was a son of the Roman emperor Constantius Chlorus and his second wife Theodora and thus a half-brother of Constantine the Great .
Almost nothing is known about Hannibalianus. He died a few years before the purge that took place after Constantine's death , to which his brothers Flavius Dalmatius and Julius Constantius fell victim. Since Hannibalianus, in contrast to his brothers, no political offices are attested, the assumption is that he died early. His nephew Hannibalianus is named after Flavius Hannibalianus , who was given the title of King of Kings by Constantine .
