The Battle of Chrysopolis was fought on 18 September 324 near Chalcedon, between Constantine I and Licinius. The defeat of Licinius left Constantine the only emperor, and thus ended the Tetrarchy.
The battle was the final encounter between the two emperors, since Licinius was withdrewing to Bithynia after the defeat in the naval Battle of Hellespont by hand of Crispus, Constantine's son and caesar.
