Flavius Constantius (死于公元421年)
康斯坦丁三世是罗马公民，生于Naissus，日期不详。
作为霍诺里斯的 "士兵大师"，他在公元411年有效地成为了西方帝国的统治者。
他上台的时候，正值西方帝国极度虚弱的时期。 阿拉里克刚刚在公元410年洗劫了罗马，他的姐夫阿托夫仍然在意大利南部领导着西哥特人。 脱离的皇帝康斯坦丁三世在高卢宣布自己和他的儿子康斯坦斯-奥古斯丁。 同时，他们的将军杰龙提斯已经不再效忠于他们，建立了自己的傀儡皇帝，马克西姆斯，在西班牙。
当杰龙提斯进入高卢，杀死康斯坦斯，并在阿雷拉特（阿尔勒）围攻康斯坦丁三世时，康斯坦丁三世亲自进军高卢，将杰龙提斯赶回西班牙，亲自围攻阿雷拉特，并与康斯坦丁三世一起占领该城，后者不久后被处决。 杰龙提斯军队在西班牙叛变，谋杀了他们的领袖，傀儡皇帝麦斯被废黜，并流亡在西班牙。
此后，康斯坦丁三世回到了意大利，并在公元412年将阿托夫和他的西哥特人赶出了半岛，进入了高卢。 此后在公元413年，他处理了在非洲叛变的赫拉克利亚努斯的叛乱，并驶向意大利。
同时，与Athaulf达成了一项交易，后者在高卢击败了一个名为Jovinus的新皇帝。

康斯坦丁三世进军高卢，迫使西哥特人进入西班牙，并抓获了被游街示众的阿塔卢斯。 随后，阿塔卢斯被谋杀，他的兄弟和继任者瓦利亚将普拉西迪亚交还给康斯坦丁三世，她在公元417年1月1日勉强嫁给了他。
在瓦利亚的领导下，西哥特人同意为罗马人在西班牙对其他德意志部落（汪达尔人、阿兰人、苏维人）发动战争，并在公元418年被授予联邦地位（帝国内的独立盟友），并在阿基坦尼亚定居。

东方的皇帝狄奥多西二世拒绝接受这些晋升。 康斯坦丁三世对这种来自东方的蔑视表现确实感到愤怒，有一段时间甚至威胁要发动战争。
但康斯坦丁三世作为皇帝只统治了七个月，就因健康状况恶化而于公元421年去世。
