Battle of Tenedos (86 BC)

The Roman-allied fleet was victorious and ended Pontic naval supremacy in the Aegean and allowed the Romans to start transporting their army into Asia-Minor.

After winning two naval engagements Lucullus finally found the main Pontic fleet near the Island of Tenedos.

Damagoras skillfully avoided the attack, and Lucullus was able to orchestrate a victory over the Pontic fleet.

After the battle Mithridates' naval forces all over the Aegean were in full retreat.
