After the revolt of Magnentius, Nepotianus cousin of the late Emperor Constans and of Constantius II proclaimed himself Emperor and entered Rome with a band of gladiators on 3 June 350 and received the Senate's support. Nepotianus was spared in the Massacre of the Princes in 337 because he was only a few months old... After attempting to resist Nepotianus with an undisciplined force of Roman citizens, the defeated Praefectus Urbi Romae Titianus (or Anicius, or Anicetus), a supporter of Magnentius, fled the city. However Nepotianus was killed 28 days later by Magnentius Magister Officiorum Marcellinus along with many of his supporters in the Senate.
WI Nepotianus doesnot usurp the crown in 350 AD and goes on in obscurity for some time and then emerges again to succeed the childless Julian in 363 continuing thus the Constantinian Dynasty? How is this altering History? Any thoughts?
