Xerxes' army "walked on water" at the Hellespont by constructing a series of pontoon bridges made from ships. In 480 BCE, he ordered his engineers to connect the two shores by laying planks across the vessels anchored side by side, allowing his troops to march across the strait. This impressive feat demonstrated both his power and the vastness of his forces as they moved from Asia into Europe during the Persian Wars.
