ARCUS CONSTANTINI
(search)
ARCUS CONSTANTINI
* erected by the senate in honour of Constantine to
commemorate his victory over Maxentius in 312 A.D., as the inscription
in the attic (CIL vi. 1139) records. The date of its completion is fixed
to 315-316 A.D. by the mention of the decennalia in the inscriptions of
the side arches; and Grossi-Gondi decides for 316 because the consulship
is omitted, whereas in 315 he held it for the fourth time. It is not
mentioned by any of our literary sources. It stands at the beginning of
the road which traverses the valley between the Palatine and the Caelian
from the Colosseum to the south-east end of the circus Maximus, and which
is often (though without warrant) called via Triumphalis. The road
did not, however, run through it, and indeed lay at a somewhat lower
level, though not so low as to necessitate steps for foot-passengers to
pass through (Mitt. 1891, 92). The archways and the space round the
arch are paved with travertine. The arch is built of white marble;- it

Constanti'nus Ii. Fla'vius Clau'dius
surnamed the Younger, Roman emperor, A. D. 337-340, the second son of Constantine the Great, and the first whom he had by his second wife, Fausta, was born at Arelatum, now Aries, in Gaul, on the 7th of August, A. D. 312.
As early as A. D. 316, he was created Caesar, together with nis elder brother, Crispus, and the younger Licinius, and he held the consulship several times.
In commemoration of the fifth anniversary of his Caesarship, in 321, the orator Nazarius delivered a panegyric (Panegyr. Veter. ix.), which, however, is of little importance. In 335 he was entrusted with the administration of Gaul, Britain, and Spain.
After the death of his father, 337, he received in the division of the empire between the three sons of the Great Constantine and his nephews, Dalmatius and Hannibalianus, the same provinces which he had governed under his father, and a part of Africa. Being the eldest surviving son of Constantine, he received some exterior marks

Hilaria'nus, Meci'lius
or MECHI'LIUS or MECIILIA'NUS. The Codex Theodosianus contains frequent notice of this magistrate, who appears to have been Corrector Lucaniae et Bruttiorum under Constantine the Great, A. D. 316 (12. tit. 1. s. 3), proconsul of Africa in the same reign, A. D. 324 (12. tit. 1. s. 9), consul with Pacatianus, A. D. 332, and praefectus praetorio, or, as Gothofredus thinks, praefectus urbi, sc. Romae, under the sons of Constantine, A. D. 339 (6. tit. 4. s. 3, 4, 7). An Hilarian appears, but without any note of his office, in a law of A. D. 341.
This is probably Mecilius Hilarian; but the Hilarianus or Hilarius (if indeed he be one person) who appears in the laws of the time of Gratian and Valentinian II., and of Honorius, as praefectus urbi, A. D. 383, and as praefectus praetorio, A. D. 396, must have been a different person. Perhaps the last is the Hilarius mentioned by Symmachus. (Symmachus, Epist. lib. 2.80, 3.38, 42, ed. Paris, 1604; Gothofred. Prosop. Cod. The
