The Pontic army anchored around a large Militia Phalanx at the center of its battle line but the majority of the army consisted of large numbers of scythed chariots and chariot archers, hordes of light infantry and light cavalry with a small fearsome reserve of heavy cavalry.
The battle was initiated with storms of light javelins and other misciles from the two armies, although most of these came hurtling out of the Pontic ranks but inflicted only limited damage against the Roman legions, which stood firm protected by their large shields and considerable armour.
Essentially at this point of the battle Rome had rotated the mass of its army to dispatch the flanking attack, and despite powerful desperate heavy charges from the Pontic heavy cavarly and fearsome scythed chariots eventually they where beaten and the light infantry were chased down with the Roman cavalry in a ruthless manner.
