==== Macedonian Empire ====
* [[Eumenes]] and [[Antigonus I Monophthalmus|Antigonus]], rivals to Cassander for control of Macedonia, meet in the [[Battle of Gabiene]] in [[Medes|Media]] to the northeast of [[Susa]]. Antigonus defeats Eumenes, with the aid of [[Seleucus I Nicator|Seleucus]] and [[Peithon]] (the satraps of [[Babylonia]] and Media, respectively). The result is inconclusive. However, some of Eumenes' soldiers take matters into their own hands. Learning that Antigonus has captured many of their wives, children and the cumulative plunder of nearly 40 years of continuous warfare, they secretly open negotiations with Antigonus for their safe return. They hand over Eumenes and his senior officers to Antigonus in return for their baggage and families. Eumenes is put to death by Antigonus after a week's captivity.
