Page "Crispus" Paragraph 15

Crispus spent the following years assisting Constantine in the war against by then hostile Licinius.

In 324, Constantine appointed Crispus as the commander of his fleet which left the port of Piraeus to confront the rival fleet of Licinius.

The subsequent Battle of Hellespont was fought in at the straits of Bosporus.

The 200 ships under the command of Crispus managed to utterly beat the enemy forces which were at least double in number.

Thus Crispus achieved his most important and difficult victory which further established his reputation as a brilliant soldier and general.
