Siege of Antigoneia (301BC)

The Siege of Antigoneia was a siege of the Antigonid capital during the First Seleukid-Antigonid War. The garrison, a small force left behind when most of Antigonos' forces marched west to deal with the Greek cities, surrendered after 132 days in the spring of 300BC.

Supplying such a large army in the field proved to problematic. A series of major sandstorm in the Syrian desert during the sprong of 300BC prevented adequet supplies from reaching Seleukos' forces.
