Battle of Marqas (232 BC)

The Battle of Marqas was the only significant engagement during Onomastos I's move to establish Seleukid authority on Commagene and Bambyce.

The battle was fought on the plains near the city of Marqas, with it citizens choosing to offer resistance rather than submit to Onomastos unopposed. While their light equipment was no match for the Seleukid phalanx, their high moral in fighting for their land did allow them to inflict significant casaulties on Onomastos' forces.

Following the battle Onomastos had Marqas sacked for their resistance to him.
