In 407 the general Claudius Constantine (Constantine III) rebelled against Emperor Honorius and appointed Iustinianus and Nebiogastes magistri militum of the army of Gaul.[1] Constantine crossed the Channel and attacked the troops loyal to Honorius in Gaul. Iustinianus fought against Sarus, one of Honorius' generals, but was defeated and killed.
