| Furthermore, the Seleucus received a considerable military force of 500 [[war elephant|war elephants]] with [[Mahout|mahouts]], which played a decisive role against Antigonus at the [[Battle of Ipsus]] in 301 BC. In 281 BC, he also defeated [[Lysimachus]] at the [[Battle of Corupedium]], adding Asia Minor to his empire. Seleucus' victories against Antigonus and Lysimachus left the Seleucid dynasty virtually unopposed amongst the Diadochi.<ref>Bennett & Roberts, pp. 112–113</ref>
