VV57 Semper Victor again

A couple of questions for Semper Victor: 

May Constantin nominate an Augustus or Caesar besides of his sons if
they were not living yet? 

If the Secundus Augustus die and has no Augustus or Caesar may a generic
leader (dux) become an usurper? 

If at any point of the game there is no Secundus Augustus (even after
checking the succession) how does the Secundus player ever create a
Secundus Augustus?

NO. 

If the Secundus Augustus die and has no Augustus or Caesar may a generic
leader (dux) become an usurper? 

Yes see 3.5.2 point 5 : 

5/ If there is no Secondus Augustus on the SECONDUS side, nor any
Augustus or Caesar on the PRIMUS side, the two players each choose a
general of their side on the map. The PRIMUS player makes his choice
first. The general chosen by the PRIMUS player gets the Primus Augustus
marker, The general chosen by the SECONDUS receives a Usurper marker 

If at any point of the game there is no Secundus Augustus (even after
checking the succession) how does the Secundus player ever create a
Secundus Augustus? 

4/ If the SECONDUS player does not have a Augustus nor any Caesar, he
chooses a general of his side in play on the map who receives a Usurper
marker (see 3.6). All the other Leaders of SECONDUS immediately make a a
loyalty check if in the zone with him: the player rolls a 1d6 per
leader, if the score is higher than or equal to the PC of that leader,
then he goes over to the side of the PRIMUS with all his combat units in
the zone (turn the Leader counters on their fronts). If the score is
less than the PC they remain with their units on the side SECONDUS.

Second Augustus

...who receives a Usurper marker... 

Yep - but how becomes a Ursuper a Secondus Augustus? If he wins a battle
against the Primus Augustus he becomes PRIMUS Augustus, correct? As far
as I understand the rules once there is no Secondus Augustus in the game
there is never a Secondus Augustus anymore.

Usurper of the Primus played by the Secondus

If he has not prepared any succession, yes.
