Over the next few months we’ll have a look at some things – things which seem to me to be interesting or curious – which happened during other years ending ..24. Some years are busy; in others nothing much seemed to have happened, so there are some gaps. We’ll do a different year each month, starting at 324.

Notable Events in 324

Unknown Date. Constantine I (below) founds Constantinople and incorporates Byzantium into the new capital.
