The Battle of the River Amnias was a battle fought in 89 BC between Pontus and Bithynia during the First Mithridatic War. The forces of Pontus were led by Archelaus and Neoptolemus, while the Bithynians were led by Nicomedes IV. Pontus was victorious. This battle was what would later be referred to as the start of the end of the Roman rule in the province of Asia.

Famous quotes containing the words battle and/or river:
“Each reaching and aspiration is an instinct with which all nature consists and cöoperates, and therefore it is not in vain. But alas! each relaxing and desperation is an instinct too. To be active, well, happy, implies courage. To be ready to fight in a duel or a battle implies desperation, or that you hold your life cheap.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Nature seemed to have adorned herself for our departure with a profusion of fringes and curls, mingled with the bright tints of flowers, reflected in the water. But we missed the white water-lily, which is the queen of river flowers, its reign being over for this season.... Many of this species inhabit our Concord water.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
