Siege of Tyre

The Siege of Tyre was a military operation that took place in 315–314 BCE during the Wars of the Diadochi. The engagement occurred in Phoenicia, at the heavily fortified port city of Tyre, between an Antigonid force led by Antigonus I Monophthalmus and Ptolemaic-aligned forces under the authority of Ptolemy I Soter. It concluded with Antigonid control over the city as part of his wider campaign in the Levant, strengthening his position against Ptolemaic influence along the eastern Mediterranean coast and contributing to the shifting balance of power among the Diadochi.
