:: About the Battle of Ipsus 301 BC ::

The Battle of Ipsus was a major conflict during the Wars of the Diadochi.

It was fought between Antigonus I Monophthalmus (meaning "one-eyed") and his son Demetrius versus a coalition of Alexander's other successors (Cassander, Lysimachus, Ptolemy, and Seleucus).

Antigonus died in battle, and his defeat led to the final division of Alexander's empire into separate kingdoms.
