HANNIBALIANUS. - Nephew of the emperor Constantine the Great, he was assigned by his uncle, as his direct domain, the government of Armenia and Pontus. While he was marching to war against Shapur II, king of the Persians, who wanted to invade those provinces, he learned of the death of Constantine (337) and suspended the expedition; immediately afterward, in the massacres that took place at Constantinople, he was killed together with other relatives of the deceased emperor.
