Top 10 historical Butthurts in the Eb era

Arjos mentioned Paneion, but I think that was a pretty regular defeat, if decisive. I mean getting cataphracts charging in your rear will leave your army quite butthurt, but...

hmm yeh i was wondering about the hellenistic wars. It seemed that even though they had really large battles such as raphia and ipsos they didnt really destroy the other person's army. At Raphia it was a full rout of the Seleucids yet they lost like 8-10 000 men out of the 70 000

[Arjos]

The battle line covered an area of 3-4 km and only 10.000 survivors managed to take refuge in Sidon...
The rest of the army was abandoned, completely encircled...
It must have been an engagement on the scale of Raphia; also let's not forget that day signed the end of Ptolemaic rule in the Levant...

In the following years Ptolemaios V didn't send any support to Roma, in my view his military force had been cut drastically (Skopas was sent to recruit more mercenaries, in order to face a possible invasion of Egypt) and couldn't afford foreign expeditions and just dealt with rebellions (which started an offensive in the aftermath of Paneion)...

[Fluvius Camillus]

Even if you discount the excaggeration, all major engagements of the Senatus Populusque Romanus (excluding Bythinian allies) versus Pontos and Artaxiad Hayasdan in the Mithridatic wars. And don't forget Pharnaces, Veni, vidi vici!
