The Battle of the Abas was fought in 65 BC between the forces of the Roman Republic under Pompey Magnus and those of the Caucasian Albanian King Oroeses during the course of the Third Mithridatic War. The battle took place on a flat plain by the River Abas (likely the modern Alazani), after the Roman forces had only recently crossed over it from the other bank, and with much dense forest nearby. Pompey's victory neutralised the threat of the Albanians rejoining with their old ally Mithridates in his attempts to rekindle his lost war with Rome.

- La Batalla de los Abas se libró en el 65 a. C. entre las fuerzas de la República Romana bajo Pompeyo Magno y las del rey caucásico albanés Oroeses durante el curso de la tercera guerra mitridática. La batalla tuvo lugar en una llanura plana a orillas del río Abas (probablemente la moderna Alazani), después de que las fuerzas romanas la hubieran cruzado recientemente desde la otra orilla, y con un bosque muy denso en las cercanías. La victoria de Pompeyo neutralizó la amenaza de que los albaneses se reunieran con su antiguo aliado Mitridates en sus intentos de reavivar su guerra perdida con Roma. (es)

| - The Battle of the Abas was fought in 65 BC between the forces of the Roman Republic under Pompey Magnus and those of the Caucasian Albanian King Oroeses during the course of the Third Mithridatic War. The battle took place on a flat plain by the River Abas (likely the modern Alazani), after the Roman forces had only recently crossed over it from the other bank, and with much dense forest nearby. Pompey's victory neutralised the threat of the Albanians rejoining with their old ally Mithridates in his attempts to rekindle his lost war with Rome. The battle is noteworthy for Pompey's concealment of his infantry behind a screen of cavalry, which would twenty years later be used against him at the Battle of Pharsalus. The near perfect double envelopment Pompey is reported to have here achieved also serves to showcase the high quality of his generalship during the Eastern campaigns. (en)

La victoria de Pompeyo neutralizó la amenaza de que los albaneses se reunieran con su antiguo aliado Mitridates en sus intentos de reavivar su guerra perdida con Roma. La batalla es notable por el ocultamiento de la infantería de Pompeyo detrás de una pantalla de caballería, que veinte años más tarde sería usada contra él en la Batalla de Farsalia. Según se informa, el perfecto movimiento de doble envoltura que Pompeyo ha logrado aquí también sirve para mostrar la alta calidad de su generalato durante las campañas orientales . (es)
