	Battle of Gabiene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Battle of Gabiene (315 BC) was a second great battle (after Paraitacene) between two of Alexander the Great's successors: Antigonus and Eumenes in the wars of the diadochi.
		Since the sole reference of this battle is ultimately from Eumenes' personal aid Hieronymus of Cardia (later transmitted through the historian Diodorus), who later switched his allegiance to Antigonus, he provides a unique perspective from both parties' point of view.
		Despite the fact that these battle hardened veterans were old enough to be their opponents grandfathers, they were still highly respected and thought to be invincible in combat.

	Battle of Ipsus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Ipsus was fought between some of the Diadochi (the successors of Alexander the Great) in 301 BC near the village of that name in Phrygia.
		The battle resulted in the division of the short-lived Alexandrian Empire into three main power centers: Macedon in the west, Syria and Babylonia (under the Seleucids) in the center, and Egypt (under the Ptolemies) to the south.
		Ipsus is an important battle, but it finalized the breakup of an empire, not the creation of one, which may account for its obscurity.

		Elephants used by Egyptians at the battle of Raphia in 217 BC were smaller than their Asian counterparts, but that did not guarantee victory for Antiochus III the Great of Syria.
		From the battle of Heraclea (280 BC, Pyrrhic War) to the famous march across the Alps by Hannibal during the Second Punic war, elephants terrified the Roman legions.
		In battle, war elephants were usually deployed in the centre of the line, where they could be useful to prevent a charge or start one of their own.

		The Battle of Pydna in 168 BC between Rome and the Antigonid dynasty represents the start of the true power of Rome, and the end of the Antigonid line, Macedonian kings whose power traces to Alexander the Great.
		The exact cause of the start of the battle differs across reports; one story is that Paullus waited until late enough in the day for the sun not to be in the eyes of his troops, and then sent an unbridled horse forward to bring about alarm.
		Although the battle is often considered to be a victory of the Roman legion's flexibility over the phalanx's inflexibility, some argue that the loss was actually due to a failure of command on the part of Perseus.

		For example, in the author's view, Hieronymus' account of the battle of Orcynia between Antigonus and Eumenes is coloured by the fact that Hieronymus served under both.
		Although the author provides a good account of the decisive battles in the east, his main focus is on the challenges to Eumenes' authority, and the responses of the latter, during this period.
		In Schäfer's view, it was the loss of the baggage-train to Antigonus' forces during the battle of Gabiene that led a number of Eumenes' officers subsequently to desert and hand him over to Antigonus, not anger at being forced to serve under a Greek (pp.

		There is a tendency to see ancient battles as little more than bloody scrums, with none of the tactical art, deception, or finesse of modern battle.
		Surprisingly, there is not a single battle map in the book, as he is for the most part concerned with how armies fight and not the results of single battles.
		All over the history, civilizations, kingdoms and states have emerged, survived or obliterated based in their skill to win battle after battle (not only at the battlefields but also at the political arena).

		With these he rendered him active service in the first battle of Gabiene, but seems nevertheless to have been jealous of him, and joined in the conspiracy of Antigenes and Teutamus against him, though he was afterwards induced to divulge their plans.
		After the surrender of Eumenes, Eudemus was put to death by order of Antigonus, to whom he had always shewn a marked hostility.
