Vetting Status: high
Translation: This is what Constantius, the father of Constantine the Great,[1] used to be called, because of his frugal way of life; he had not acquired even silver plate[2] in quantity, nor anything else intended to be luxurious; instead, for religious and public festivities he used to deck out his palaces with the silver and upholsteries of private individuals.
