ThePeace of Serdica held for several years, but in 323Tervingi Goths crossed intoLicinius’ territory and, when Licinius failed to oppose them,Constantine also entered Licinius’ territory anddrove them back. Licinius immediately accused Constantine of violating the peace, while Constantine denounced Licinius for failing to protect the frontier, and war soon broke out among the two.
