Magnentius
Magnentius (Latin: Flavius Magnus Magnentius Augustus; r. 303 – August 11, 353) was a usurper of the Roman Empire from 350 to 353.
Early life and career
Born in Samarobriva (Amiens), Gaul, Magnentius was the commander of the Herculians and Jovians, the Imperial guard units. When the army grew dissatisfied with the behavior of Roman Emperor Constans, it elevated Magnentius at Autun on January 18, 350. Constans was abandoned by all except a handful of retainers, and he was slain shortly afterwards by a troop of light cavalry near the Pyrenees.
Usurper
Magnentius quickly attracted the loyalty of the provinces in Britannia, Gaul, and Hispania, in part because he proved to be far more tolerant towards both Christians and Pagans. His control on Italia and Africa was applied through the election of his men to the most important offices. However, the short-lived revolt of Nepotianus, a member of the Constantinian dynasty, showed Magnentius that his status as emperor was to be consolidated against the members of that dynasty.

Menino Deus
De um corpo azul dourado
Um porto alegre é bem mais que um seguro
Na rota das nossas viagens do escuro
Menino Deus
Quando tua luz se acenda
A minha voz comporá tua lenda
E por momento haverá mais futuro
Do que jamais houve
Mas ouve a nossa harmonia
A eletricidade, ligada no dia
Em que brilharias por sobre cidade
Menino Deus
Quando a flor do teu sexo
Abrir as pétalas para o universo
Então por um lapso se encontrá nexo
Ligando os breus, dando sentido aos mundos
E aos corações sentimentos profundos
De terna alegria, no dia
Do Menino Deus
