Anastasia was a daughter of Roman Emperor Constantius Chlorus and Flavia Maximiana Theodora, and half sister of Emperor Constantine I. She was married to a senator, Bassianus, who was found to be plotting against Constantine and executed in the year 316 CE. After Bassianus' death, Anastasia largely disappears from the record. The public baths at Constantinople may he been named after her, though this is unclear. The name Anastasia (Koinē Greek: Ἀναστασία, romanized: Anastasía, lit.'resurrection') may indicate a sympathy on her father's part towards Christian culture.
