The Battle of Raphia, also known as the Battle of Gaza[citation needed], was fought on 22 June 217 BC near modern Rafah between the forces of Ptolemy IV Philopator, Greek king and pharaoh of Ptolemaic Egypt and Antiochus III the Great of the Greek Seleucid Empire during the Syrian Wars of the Greeks.[1] It was one of the largest battles of the Hellenistic kingdoms and of the ancient world, and determined the sovereignty of Coele Syria.
