Flavius Julius Constantius (d. September, 337) was a son of Western Roman Emperor Constantius Chlorus and his second wife Flavia Maximiana Theodora. He was a younger half-brother of Roman Emperor Constantine I the Great.
His father died on July 25, 306 when Julius Constantius was either a child or an adolescent. He is considered to have spend much of the 300s, 310s and 320s under virtual house arrest in Tolosa , Gallia Narbonensis, Gaul, Western Roman Empire under orders of his brother.
He first married Galla, sister of both Vulcacius Rufus and Neratius Cerealis. They had three known children.:
- Constantius Gallus (325/326 - 354).
- A son. Murdered in 337.
- A daughter. First Empress consort of his nephew Constantius II.
He married for a second time to Basilina, daughter of Caeionius Iulianus Camenius. They only had one known son:
His half-brother favored Julius Constantius by naming him a patrician and by appointing him consul in 335. When Constantine died on May 22, 337, Julius Constantius was in position to claim the throne for himself. He was murdered within months of Constantine's death along with most males of their family.
