When they came to blows near Hadrianopolis, Licinius, whose army was numerically superior in both foot and cavalry, was defeated by Constantine and fell back to Byzantium. His position there was not secure, however, and he was soon cut off from his fleet. He retreated to Chalcedon, where he promoted his controller of ministries, Martinian, as his co-Augustus, and left him to prevent Constantine from crossing the strait. Martinian was unable to accomplish the task and was captured by Constantine's forces shortly thereafter. He was executed by orders of Constantine in 325, after having short respite under guard in Cappadocia.
