During the struggle of the Diadochi for power, Lysimachus joined a coalition of Seleucus, Ptolemy, and Cassander in 315 and fought against Antigonus. The war led to a second partition of the legacy of Alexander the Great. This time Lysimachus added to his possessions the Hellespont coast. In 306 he proclaimed himself king along with the other Diadochi. From 303 to 301, Lysimachus fought alongside his former allies in a successful struggle against Antigonus (Antigonus I the One-Eyed) and his son Demetrius I Poliorcetes in Asia Minor. As a result, Lysimachus added to his domain a number of regions of Asia Minor. (Antigonus I perished in 301 in a battle near Ipsus.) In 287 and 286, Lysimachus and King Pyrrhus of Epirus pushed Demetrius I out of Macedonia and subjugated the territory. His wars in the north against the Hittites and King Eumel of the Bosporus were unsuccessful. Lysimachus died in battle against Seleucus I Nicator; his army was crushed, and the state collapsed.
