 | | The most important battle of the Diadochi period was fought at the end of 301 BC between Antigonus Monophtalmus ("the one-eyed") and his son Demetrius Poliorcetes ("the besieger") on one side, and a coalition of Seleucus Nicator, Lysimachus and troops of Cassander on the other, at Ipsus in Phrygia. |
 | | The Antigonid army consisted of 70,000 foot, 10,000 horse and 75 war elephants (1) with Antigonus fighting alongside the phalanx and Demetrius and the young Pyrrhus at the head of the cavalry, while that of his enemies numbered 64,000 foot, 10,500 horse, 400 war elephants and 120 scythe chariots. |
 | | The importance of the battle of Ipsus lies in that it was the last opportunity for Alexander's empire to be reunited under Antigonus. |
