The Battle of Ipsus was fought in 301 BCE in Phrygia between Antigonus I and his son Demetrius on one side and a coalition of Seleucus I, Lysimachus and Cassander on the other. Seleucus's war elephants played an important role, and Antigonus was killed. The battle ended attempts to reunite Alexander's empire and secured the Seleucid Empire's hold on Syria.
