Julius Nepotian, the son of Eutropia, the half-sister of Constantine the Great, declared himself emperor at Rome on 3 June 350. With a band of gladiators he attacked Rome but was killed by Magnentius' generals on 30 June 350, twenty-eight days after the beginning of the revolt. His head was put on a spear and carried around Rome.
