After this victory the troops of Honorius again laid siege to the
city. When Constantine heard of the death of Edovicus he cast aside
his purple robe and imperial ornaments, and repaired to the church,
where he caused himself to be ordained as presbyter. Those within the
walls, having first received oaths, opened the gates, and their
Fives were spared. From that period the whole province returned to
its allegiance to Honorius, and has since been obedient to the rulers
of his appointment. Constantine, with his son Julian, was sent into
Italy, but he was waylaid and killed. Not long afterwards Jovianus
and Maximus, the tyrants above mentioned, Saros, and many others
who had conspired against Honorius, were unexpectedly slain.
