Constantius had a son named Constantine.

Constantine: "Salve!"

This is his happy face.

He too had ambitions for the throne. (Who didn't?) He was disappointed that he wasn't named Caeser.

This is his sad face.

So he joined his father in Briton to wage war against the Picts.

Constantius: "Aw, don't be sad, son! Let's go kill some people!"

The successful campaign earned them both the admiration of the troops, as well as a new region.

Constantine: "My father's a king! And an Emperor."

Constantius: "Hack hack wheeze"

When Constantius died in 306, the army hailed Constantine as Augustus, regardless of the wishes of the pre-existing emperors.

Constantine: "Hey guys I am king of Briton now. Check out my army."

Severus: "Here. Please don't kill us."

Some time after, Galerius made a bad political decision. He put a tax on Roman citizens, who had always been exempt.

Citizens of Rome: "NOOOOOO!"

Maxentius: "I'll save you, people of Rome!"

Ol' Maximian's son, Maxentius, swooped in and declared two things: himself Emperor, and Rome now tax-free.

Citizens of Rome: "YEEEESSSS!"
