Flavius Iulius Delmatius
"Gloria Exercitus" He was the son of Delmatius the Elder, the half-brother of Constantine the Great. His brother was Hannibalianus. In 333 AD, Dalmatius was appointed consul. When, in 335 AD, the emperor established new principles for dividing the empire, he ordered Dalmatius to be proclaimed Caesar "despite strong opposition from the army" and assigned him as governor of Thrace, Macedonia, and Achaea.
He was also granted the right to wear a purple robe adorned with gold and use the title nobilissimus, which created potential conflict with the emperor's sons. He likely resided in Naissus. That same year, Dalmatius suppressed a rebellion in Cyprus by eliminating the usurper Calocaerus.
He was murdered in September 337 AD, possibly on the orders of Constantius II.
