Forces
The main force was all under the command of Mithridates who had an army of 250,000 compared to Nicomedes who only had 50,000 infantry and 6,000 cavalry. The Pontic forces at the Amnias River where this battle takes place were commanded by the brothers Neoptolemus and Archelaus, who had a force that according to Appian was still outnumbered by Nicomedes despite the large force commanded by Mithradates VI of Pontus.
