The Battle
The Battle of the Amnias River started around a rocky hill on the plains. Neoptolemus and Archelaus, generals under Mithiridates, sent troops forward to occupy the hill, but they were repelled by Nicomedes. Neoptolemus then led another attack on hill, but was repelled again. Nicomedes managed to force Neoptolemus' men to retreat, but before Nicomedes could finish off Neoptolemus, he was attacked on the flank by Archelaus.
