The Battle of Erigon Valley or the Battle of Lyncus Plain[1] took place in 358 BC between the Illyrians under Bardyllis[2] and the Macedonians under Philip II. After forty years on continuous Illyrian dominance and expansion under Bardyllis, Philip II after marrying Audata, an Illyrian princess, marched into Illyria and confronted the Illyrian tribesmen. The battle described by Diodorus and Frontinus shows the power and excellence of both the Macedonian and Illyrian armies.
