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.

"Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past...Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered."

― George Orwell, 1984 (1948)
