  • September 351: Battle of Mursa.
  • July 353: Magnentius was a Roman usurper who declared himself emperor in 350. Constantius II was the legitimate Roman emperor at the time. In 353, Constantius defeated Magnentius at Mons Seleucus in Gaul, solidifying his control over the Roman Empire.
  • January 351: Emperor Constans was particularly disliked by the legions, and in 350 AD, he was overthrown by a military conspiracy and killed while fleeing to safety. The army elevated a barbarian officer called Magnentius as the new western emperor.
