It's July 324 CE, off the coast of Asia Minor, now known as Turkey. Wind whiffs through the air as Flavius Julius Crispus grips the rail of his ship. Waves thump against the hull, but there's no turning back. Crispus knows that he must ignore the risk of capsizing and advance into the choppy waters if he is to have any chance of victory over the enemy. The Roman Empire has slipped into civil war, with rival leaders vying for power. Crispus fights for his father, Constantine, and today he's facing the navy of Constantine's adversary, Licinius. Crispus must break through if his father is going to conquer Licinius' stronghold in the eastern provinces. But as Crispus pushes his ship on, an enemy vessel suddenly emerges through the spray.
It's nearly twice the size of Crispus' ship, but it's far slower and that gives Crispus an opportunity. He barks out orders and feels the deck beneath him shudder as his ship turns sharply. Crispus unsheathes his sword and dozens of other soldiers on deck follow suit. He silently counts down the last few yards until eventually two ships collide and a pitched battle erupts in the middle of the churning sea. By exploiting the stormy waters, Flavius Julius Crispus will shatter the enemy fleet. The civil war in the Roman Empire won't end there, but victory at the Battle of Hellespont will clear the path for Crispus' father Constantine to march on, setting up a final, decisive battle at Chrysopolis on September 18, 324 CE.

I founded Ornot in 2013. I think the best thing about Shopify is that we can practice business without technical skills. We can manage the company's background and front-end and sell online. If Shopify was a bicycle, it would be a bicycle itself. That's how things are handled and our business is handled in Shopify. Start your free trial at shopify.com.

History is made every day. On this podcast, every day, we tell the true stories of the people and events that shaped our world. Today is September 18th, 324 CE, the Battle of Chrysopolis. It's spring, 303 CE, just outside the city of Nicomedia in the Eastern Roman Empire, 21 years before the Battle of the Hellespont. Constantine rides toward the city at the head of his elite cavalry unit. His horse kicks up dust as a palace comes into view. After several years campaigning on the Roman Empire's frontiers, the 30-year-old Constantine is looking forward to a break from war and to all the comforts reserved for a nobleman of his rank. But a commotion at the side of the road catches his eye.
