Battle of the Abas
65 BC battle
The Battle of the Abas was fought in 65 BC between the forces of the Roman Republic under Pompey Magnus and those of the Caucasian Albanian King Oroeses during the course of the Third Mithridatic War. The battle took place on a flat plain by the River Abas, after the Roman forces had only recently crossed over it from the other bank, and with much dense forest nearby.
