Historical Background
The final victory of Constantine I against Licinius, Augustus of the East.
After his defeat in Adrianople (324) and his navy's defeat in the Battle of the Hellespont, Licinius withdrew his forces from the city of Byzantium across the Bosporus to Chalcedon in Bithynia. Following this naval victory at Hellespont, Constantine crossed over to Asia Minor.
He used a flotilla of light transports in order to avoid the main body of his opponent’s army, which, under the command of Licinius' newly appointed co-emperor Martinian, was guarding the coast at Lampsacus
Constantine's army landed on the Asiatic shore of the Bosporus and marched southward towards Chalcedon. Licinius moved his army a few miles north, towards Chysoupolis.
Constantine's army reached the environs of Chrysoupolis before the forces of Licinius.
Constantine decided to take the initiative and attack. He launched a single massive frontal assault on Licinius' troops and routed them winning a decisive victory in what was a large-scale battle.
Licinius managed to escape and gathered around 30,000 of his surviving troops at the city of Nicomedia. Later, he was persuaded by his wife, and sister of Constantine, Constantia to surrender. He was executed some months later.
The stage is set. The battle lines are drawn and you are in command. The rest is history.
