Was Constantius II a good emperor?

He was great. He was a (better) Tiberius to Constantine's Augustus.

Most underrated Roman Emperor along with Gallienus.

No.

Being better to Constantine than Tiberius was to Augustus isn't really high praise, though.

Waging war and persecuting the majority of the empire? Hmm I dunno.

>>2797138
most emperors waged war and the persecutions weren't particularly bad to my knowledge

>>2797145
>most emperors waged war
How many did so on their own empire?

>>2797268
Many, maybe even most, if you count the usurpers of the 3rd century

Roman "succession" was quite bloody

He didn't do it to gain power though, he did it because he didn't like the co-emperor. Basically as close as possible to doing it for the lulz

>>2797332
Constantius's civil wars were because his co-emperor was usurped

Killing Magnentius wouldn't bring Constans back to life
