Historical Fact of the Day

[Quintus.JC]

22nd June: 2226 years ago on the same day the battle of Raphia was fought between Ptolemy Philopator and Antiochus the Great; with the Egyptians eventually emerged victorious because of their superior native Egyptian phalanx which routed their Seleucid counterparts. The result of this battle bore little historical significance, apart from being a playable historical battle in the award-winning PC game Rome: Total War.

Very interesting thread idea btw.
