Battle of Tzirallum : ウィキペディア英語版 | Battle of Tzirallum
The Battle of Tzirallum was one of the civil wars of the Tetrarchy fought on 30 April 313 between the Roman armies of emperors Licinius and Maximinus. The battle location was on the "Campus Serenus" at Tzirallum, identified as the modern-day town of Çorlu, in Tekirdağ Province, in the Turkish region of Eastern Thrace. Sources put the battle between 18 and 36 Roman miles from Heraclea Perinthus, the modern-day town of Marmara Ereğlisi.〔 ==Background==
The emperors Licinius and Maximinus were locked in a struggle for supremacy for the Eastern provinces of the Roman Empire. Maximinus had crossed the Bosphorus in 313, and taken Byzantium. Possessing an army of around 70,000, he proceeded to lay siege to the town of Heraclea Perinthus, which he captured after a siege of eight days.〔 Maximinus moved ahead to the "first station", 18 miles beyond Heraclea.〔 On arriving there, news reached him that Licinius, coming from Adrianople had already pitched camp with his force at the second station, 18 miles further ahead.〔 After a period of fruitless negotiations, in which both emperors attempted to win over the loyalty of the other's armies, the emperors met in battle on 30 April. The battle location, Tzirallum, is identified with the contemporary town of Tzouroulon, which is the modern Turkish city of Çorlu.
