Battle of Apameia Orontou (246 BC)

The Battle of Apameia was a major engagement fought during the Second Seleukid-Antigonid War. After the defeat at Maked the previous year Antiochos withdrew to northern Syria for reorganisation. Disunity amongst the Antrigonid allies prevented them from capitalising on their victory and Antiochos managed to win an important victory at Seleukobelos. While awaiting reinforcements Antiochos died and Nabarzanes saw an opportunity to strike at the now leaderless Seleukids.

Nabarzanes his small force engaged the far larger Antiochid army and managed to rout the disorganised army. However, in doing so lost a huge portion of his army and a few months later the remands would be destroyed at Lysias.
