ante diem VIII Kal. Avg.
25 July 306 AD
Constantius dies at York. His son Constantine is acclaimed Augustus by the troops.
...and all united in honouring this thrice blessed prince with acclamations and praises, and while with one mind and voice, they glorified the rule of the son as a living again of him who was dead, they hastened at once to hail their new sovereign by the titles of Imperial and Worshipful Augustus, with joyful shouts... All the nations also under his dominion were filled with joy and inexpressible gladness at not being even for a moment deprived of the benefits of a well ordered government.
Constantine continued to observe July 25th as his dies imperii throughout his reign.
