Vetranio (d. c. 356) born in the province of Moesia in a region in modern Serbia is sometimes incorrectly referred to as Vetriano. He was an experienced soldier and officer when he was asked by Constantina the sister of Roman Emperor Constantius II to proclaim himself Caesar (March 1 350). Her brother Constans had been killed by Magnentius earlier that year and she probably thought Vetranio could protect her family and herself against the usurper.
