Tetrarchy/Constantine family tree
Heliodromus:
I saw someone over on CoinTalk asking for a family tree of Constantine, and oddly there really doesn't seem to be a decent one online, so here's one I recently put together myself - feel free to use it for whatever use you like.
The green triangles, and lines, represent marriages. It's a slightly unusual format I realize, but given the oddities of the relationships (e.g. Constantine's wife Fausta being half-sister to his step-mother Theodora!) I couldn't find any online family tree software that would work, so had to use GraphViz. It took quite a bit of work to untangle into a clean layout without crossed lines!
Note that Delmatius' name is really Flavius Dalmatius, same as his father (aka Dalmatius the censor), but I stuck with Delmatius since that's how he's normally known.
I've omitted a few known siblings that don't play any role in the tetrarchy, specifically Valeria Maximilla's brother Candidianus, and Constantius's additional children with Theodora: Anastasia, Eutropia and Hannibilianus (not to be confused with Delmatius' brother, Hannibilianus rex regum, who appears on coins).

Tree is very clean indeed but you can make an exception and link Hannibalianus and Constantina.

I tried adding it a few ways. I think this looks best, and keeps it compact.

Updated, above.

Nice. There are charts in books like Jones but you are right, I haven't seen anything good online.
