  Battle of Corupedium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Corupedium (also called Corupedion) is the name of the last battle of the Diadochi, the rival successors to Alexander the Great.
It was fought, in 281 BC between the armies of Lysimachus and Seleucus I.
Almost nothing is known about the battle itself save that the two aged kings met in hand to hand combat and Seleucus won the battle.

 Battle of Paraitacene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Paraitacene (317 BC) was a battle in the wars of the successors of Alexander the Great (see diadochi) between Antigonus I Monophthalmus and Eumenes.
However, Antigonus observed that the very success of the Argyraspides had led them forward to reveal a gap in the battle line as it detached from their left flank.
Their next major confrontation would be the Battle of Gabiene.

Although Eumenes defeated the rebels in Asia Minor, in a battle at which Craterus was killed, it was all for nought, as Perdiccas himself was murdered by his own generals Peithon, Seleucus, and Antigenes during an invasion of Egypt.
After great battles at Paraitacene in 317 BC and at Gabiene in 316 BC, Eumenes was eventually betrayed and murdered by his own troops in 315 BC, leaving Antigonus in undisputed control of the Asian territories of the Empire.
Seleucus, after appointing his son Antiochus ruler of his Asian territories, defeated and killed Lysimachus at the battle of Corupedium in Lydia in 281 BC, but Seleucus did not live to enjoy his triumph for long - he was almost immediately murdered by Ptolemy Ceraunus, for reasons that remain unclear.

Although Eumenes defeated the rebels in Asia Minor, in a battle at which Craterus was killed, it was all for nought, as Perdiccas himself was murdered by his own generals Peithon, Seleucus, and Antigenes while preparing an invasion of Egypt.

The king had known how to cope with the barbarians: he had understood that, when one tribe became dangerous, he had to negotiate with its neighbors - in other words, during the almost forty years of his reign, he had learned to maintain a balance of power in what is now Bulgaria and Servia.
But Lysimachus had been killed during the battle of Corupedium, and his successor Seleucus, who had learned the same game in dealing with the Sacae in Central-Asia, had been murdered a few months later.
His official successor was Antiochus, who had spent much time in the eastern satrapies and knew how to deal with the tribes as well.
