Eusebius held the position of praepositus sacri cubiculi in 337, when Constantine I died. He concealed the will of the Emperor. He sent money to the orator Libanius in exile and, in 355, helped those Arian bishops who plotted against Athanasius of Alexandria.
Eusebius followed Constantius into Gaul (353-354) and then to Milan (354).
Eusebius enriched himself taking the properties of those who were put to death on accusations of treason. When general Ursicinus refused to give him as a present his house in Antioch, in 359, Eusebius had him recalled from his office as magister equitum, having Sabinianus as a substitute.
Eusebius was together with Constantius until the Emperor died, in 361. The new Emperor, Julian, set up the Chalcedon tribunal to judge all those officers of Constantius" who had been suspected of corrupt conduct, in particular in the case of the trial and execution of Gallus (Julian"s half-brother).
Eusebius was accused of plotting against Gallus, was found guilty, and was put to death.
