Hannibalianus was the son of Flavius Dalmatius and thus nephew of Constantine I, the Great. In 335, Hannibalianus married Constantine's eldest daughter Constantina. During Constantine's campaign against the Sassanids (337), Hannibalianus was named Rex Regum et Ponticarum Gentium ("King of Kings and of the Pontic People"). Constantine apparently intended to place Hannibalianus on the Pontic throne after his victory over the Persians. However, this campaign never took place, as Constantine died in May 337. It seems that Hanniballianus then fell victim to the purge that followed Constantine's death.
