Product Description: Much of Helena's life and history is obscure or unknown, including the date and place of her birth. Some theorize that since the emperor Constantine later named a town in Asia Minor Helenopolis in her honor, she was born there, the daughter of an innkeeper.
Unclear too is when Helena met the Roman soldier Constantius Chlorus, or even if the two were ever officially married. What is certain is that Constantius and Helena were Constantine's parents. When Constantius became Caesar of Gaul, Spain, and Britain in 292, he divorced Helena in order to marry Theodora, daughter of his patron Maximian. It was an obvious and cold political move designed to promote Constantius' career.
