Battle of Herakleia Media (277 BC)

The Battle of Herakleia Media was a decisive engagement during the Syrian Rebellion.

After Subduing the rebels in Media Felix, Umamaita Chosroid was free to move his forces west and intercept a strong Antropatene force under Datames I, satrap of Antropatene.

The defeat of the strongest rebel forces would soon cause a large number of rebel cities to reaffirm the loyalty to the Seleukids. However this battle could not prevent the rebels under Kidin-Ashshur, satrap of Adiabene, from taking the city later that year.
