In the previous article, we talked about gallus's death and the promotion of his younger brother Julian. This time we will speak not only of Julian, but also of Constantius's life in Rome and his resistance to foreign aggression.
First of all, let's talk about Julian, who became Caesar (the Little Emperor), who was not in any happy mood at this time, because his actions were monitored and the letters sent out were intercepted and examined.
The servants who followed him at the time were disbanded by Constantius, leaving only two attendants, a doctor, and a librarian.
In addition to these four men, Julian's other servants were replaced by Constantius, and the servants appointed by Constantius to serve Julian had only superficial loyalty.

Having finished speaking of Julian, who had just become Caesar but was being watched by many quarters, we turned to Constantius, who was monitoring Julian.
Constantius, after arranging the eyeliner to monitor Julian, went to Rome for a while, and according to historical records, at the moment he entered Rome, all the ministers were dressed in ornate costumes and formed a large retinue.
In addition to these ministers, there were many Janissaries at Constantius's side, who were heavily armed and waving silk flags made of gold thread around the Emperor's chariot.
Constantius's royal chariot was not generally expensive (the ornaments on it may be priceless today), as his car was decorated with gold and precious stones.
Throughout the march into the city, Constantius remained inviolable (except for a slight nod as he passed the city gates).
After entering the city, where did Constantius live?
The answer is to live in a palace that was built a long time ago.
After settling down in the palace, Constantius began to preside over the meetings of the Senate, where Constantius often spoke to the deputies.
During his time in Rome, Constantius spent a lot of time touring various landmarks in Rome.
He praised these landmarks in many words, and pointed out that it was the splendor of these landmarks that qualified Rome to become the capital of the world.
Constantius also wanted to leave something behind in Rome out of the idea of comparing himself with the emperors, and at first he wanted to build a huge marble statue and a bronze statue on horseback in Rome, but for various reasons, he finally chose a simple method, which was to give the square pebelis of Egypt to Rome.
These square pinnacles have a very long history, existing thousands of years ago in ancient Egypt, and they still stand until the time of the Roman Empire a thousand years later.
These stele were used by emperors to demonstrate their power and victory after the Roman Empire conquered Egypt.
By the time of Constantius's reign, only one square obelisk remained in Egypt, which was eventually uprooted by Constantius's orders like the other stele.

After living in Rome for some time, Constantius received an alert from a province that the Quadi had invaded and that the whole province was about to be overwhelmed.
Seeing the contents of this alarm, Constantius mobilized the Internal Guard as quickly as he could, and then led them to resist the Quadis.
In the end, the Kwadi were beaten by the Roman Army and had no temper and could only obediently surrender to the Roman Empire army.
After surrender, the Quadi returned their captives and sent high-ranking members of the tribe to the Roman Empire as hostages to maintain peace between the two sides.

Having finished the surrender of the Kwadi, let us speak of the more miserable Lemigants.
Why is this Limigant miserable?
To ask this question, we shall first turn to their territory, which was on the banks of the Danube River, surrounded by swamps, and which was the only place where the roman army had to pass against the Quadis.
However, when the Roman army was going to resist the Kwadi, the Lemigants set up many sets for the Roman Empire's army, making the Roman Empire's army miserable, but the powerful Roman Imperial army eventually killed both the Kwadi and The Limigants.
The Roman Army's inner reckoning was very unhappy with the Lemigants, so in its treatment of the Lemigants, it advocated the elimination of the Lemigants.
The Limigants panicked when they heard this, and then many Lemigants came to Constantius and begged for forgiveness, begging not to destroy them. Constantius looked at them pitifully, and in the end did not destroy them, but exiled them to a remote place.
At this point, this article will be the end of the content, we will see you tomorrow.
