Fausta

Flavia Maxima Fausta was the daughter of emperor Maximianus and brother to emperor Maxentius. She was married to their great rival Constantine I, in order to secure peace for the empire by ensuring the cooperation of the Tetrarches. She bore Constantine three sons, the future emperors Consantine II, Constans and Constantius II. In 326, Fausta was steamed to death in her bath by order of her husband allegedly for conspiring to have Crispus, Constantine's son by a previous marriage, executed.
