The Battle of Chaeronea is the victory of the Roman forces of Lucius Cornelius Sulla over King Mithridates VI of Pontus near Chaeronea, in Boeotia, in 86 BCE during the First Mithridatic War.
This battle is described in three ancient texts, although the accounts differ slightly.
The description of the battle is found in Appian's Mithridatic Wars, Sections 42-43, Frontinus' Stratagems, as well as Plutarch's Life of Sulla, chapters 17-19.
