Hellespont, Battle of the

Years: 324 - 324

The Battle of the Hellespont, consisting of two separate naval clashes, is fought in 324 between a Constantinian fleet, led by the eldest son of Constantine I, Crispus; and a larger fleet under Licinius' admiral, Abantus (or Amandus).

Despite being outnumbered, Crispus wins a complete victory.

“And in the absence of facts, myth rushes in, the kudzu of history.”

― Stacy Schiff, Cleopatra: A Life (2010)
