Anastasia was a daughter of Roman Emperor Constantius Chlorus and Flavia Maximiana Theodora, and half sister of Emperor Constantine I.[1] She was married to Bassianus, who was found to be plotting against Constantine and executed.[1] She is reputed to have built the public baths at Constantinople, which were named after her.[2] The name Anastasia (Koinē Greek: Ἀναστασία, romanized: Anastasía, lit.
