in late september/october, martina elevated constans to co-emperor, but also raised heraklonas brothers, martinus and tiberius to co-emperors alongside them. despite these offers, valentinus entered the city in september/october, deposed heraklonas and martina, and then elevated constans to emperor. heraklonas, martina, tiberius, and martinus are said by john of nikiu to have been "escorted forth with insolence", where following, valentinus had martinus nose cut off, emasculated him and then banished him to rhodes, where he stayed until his death. another son, theodosius, suffered no punishment as he was deaf-mute, and thus was not in a position to threaten the throne.
