Fausta, wife of Contantine I, daughter of Maximianus (died 326CE)

Fausta, daughter of Maximianus, second wife of Constantine I (died 326). Fausta Flavia Maxima was married to Constantine I in 307 to seal the alliance between Maximianus and Constantine for control of the tetrarchy. In 310 when Maximianus plotted Constantine's assassination, Fausta betrayed her father to her husband thus saving his life. Although she was proclaimed Augusta in 323, she was put to death in 326 by suffocation in an over-heated bath. Constantine ordered damnatio memoriae after her death.
