A grandson of emperor [[Constantius Chlorus]] ({{Reign|293|306}}) and empress [[Flavia Maximiana Theodora]], and a son of [[Julius Constantius]] and [[Galla (wife of Julius Constantius)|Galla]], he belonged to the [[Constantinian dynasty]]. Born during the reign of his uncle [[Constantine the Great]] ({{Reign|306|37}}), he was among the few male members of the imperial family to survive the purge that followed Constantine's death. Under Constantius II, Gallus served as deputy emperor, based in [[Antioch]] and married to Constantius' sister [[Constantina]]. He dealt with a [[Jewish revolt against Constantius Gallus|Jewish revolt]] in the years 351-352. Gallus ultimately fell out of favor with Constantius and was executed, being replaced as ''Caesar'' by his younger half-brother [[Julian (emperor)|Julian]].
