      Eutropia«/b» (d. after 325) a woman of Syrian origin, who was the wife of «u»Emperor «/u» «u»Maximian «/u».

      «b»Marriage to Maximian and their children

      «/b»In the late 3rd century, she married «u»Maximian «/u», though the exact date of this marriage is uncertain. By «u»Maximian «/u», she had two children, a boy, «u»Maxentius «/u» (c. 277-287), who was «u»Western Roman Emperor «/u» from «u»306 «/u»-«u»312 «/u» and a girl, «u»Fausta «/u» (c. 298)«u»[1]«/u», who was wife of «u»Constantine I «/u», and mother of six children by him, including the «u»Augusti «/u» «u»Constantine II «/u», «u»Constantius II «/u» and «u»Constans «/u».

      «b»Another daughter?

      «/b»There is some doubt as to whether «u»Flavia Maximiana Theodora «/u», who married «u»Constantius I Chlorus «/u», was the a daughter of Eutropia by an earlier husband«u»[2]«/u» or whether she was a daughter of «u»Maximian «/u» by an earlier anonymous wife«u»[3]«/u».
