It is most notable for being the place of no less than three decisive ancient or medieval battles each called in their own era the Battle of Issus The Battle of Issus 333 BC Alexander the Great of Macedonia defeated Darius III of Persia . This battle is occasionally called the First Battle of Issus, but is more generally known simply as the Battle of Issus, owing to the importance of Alexander s victory over the First Persian Empire and its impact on subsequent history of the region, including all the successor polities. Battle of Issus 194 , or Second Battle of Issus &mdash between the forces of Emperor Septimius Severus and his rival, Pescennius Niger . Battle of Issus 622 , or Third Battle of Issus &mdash between the Byzantine Empire and the Sassanid Empire Sassanid Persian Empire . That the Byzantines would triumph in this battle was allegedly prophesied by Mohammed . Whether Issus is still present within a modern settlement is hotly debated among researchers. Regardless of which mountain brook was the locus of the battles, the old town was situated close to present day skenderun , Turkey, in the Gulf of skenderun . Today, no town exists on both sides of the Pinarus river, which may or may not have been called Issus.

This case is made by historians N.G.L. Hammond and A.M.

Earlier thought had the Pinarus as today s Deli ay River , a similar and not distant stream, with surroundings which do not match up as well with certain source descriptions.

Orphan date September 2011 Proofreader needed Arbre Sec fr The Dry tree or Solitary tree is a legendary tree. The first recording about it was done by Marco Polo , somewhere in the wastelands of northern Persia. According to Polo it was the only single tree within hundreds of miles of desert. The legend said that the Dry Tree marked the exact spot of the great battle between Alexander the Great and Darius III Darius . It s not clear whether this great battle refers to the battle of Battle of Issus Issus or of Battle of Gaugamela Gaugamela , or both. The purported location somewhere in Greater Khorasan Khorasan , near the border with present day Turkmenistan is also impossible because Darius was already assassinated when Alexander reached these regions. Polo describes the Dry tree as a tree of great size, with green leaves on one side and white leaves on the other. For that reason, the Dry tree should be a platanus . A solitary dry tree is also visible on the famous Issus mosaic from Pompei, pinning down the precise location where Alexander and Darius came face to face. The Dry tree has been reported afterwards by the Bavarian adventurer Johannes Schiltberger , who acompared it to the Oak of Mamre . He said that Muslims called this tree Kurrutherek ou Sirpe . This last word is close to the Turco Persian word meaning cyperus . The Spanish ambassador Clavijo , said that the tree was in Tabriz . Though the story is a legend, solitary trees are not. The Arbre du T n r Tenere tree was a famous tree in the West African state of Niger, serving both as a landmark and a national monument. The nearest tree was 400 km away. It was felled by a truck driver in 1973.
