13 март 161 г. до нашей эры - Battle of Adasa
Описание:
The Battle of Adasa was fought in 13th of the month Adar, 161 BC at Adasa, near Beth-horon, between the Maccabees of Judah Maccabee and the Seleucid Empire, whose army was led by Nicanor.
Maccabee won this battle, while Nicanor was killed. For a few years this day was celebrated as the "Day of Nicanor" (13th of Adar) to commemorate this victory.
Despite the victory, within less than a year Judah Maccabee was defeated and killed, fighting the Seleucids at Elasa.
The Maccabees however continued to execute authority over Judea and led to a complete expulsion of Seleucid forces from the region.
