Crispus, Son of Constantine the Great was his chosen hier. Crispus was an able military commander and trained to be emperor by his father. However, his fate was forever changed when his mother died and Constantine remarried. With his second wife fausta he had 3 sons. However, Crispus was still to be constantines hier and Fausta wished for her sons to have the throne. She accused Crispus of assaulting her and Constantine threw Crispus in jail and planned to have him killed. However, Helena, Constanines mother, suspected this and told constantine, and Crispus was to be freed and still be the hier to the throne. But it was too late as the prison guards already executed him.
I need a few answers to these questions. First, would christianity be promted by Crispus as his father did? Second, would there be any civil war between the sons? Third, would the empire be divided as theodosious wouldn't become emperor? could this save the west? would a united empire be able to beat the barbarians back across the Rhine? Fourth, Would rome and persia become enemies, because julian wouldn't be emperor and there would be no invasion of persia? could this save the byzantines from being weakened to the point of defeat by the Arabs?
Thoughts? opinions?
