The Battle of Philomelion (Latinised as Philomelium - modern Akşehir) of 1116^[2] consisted of a series of clashes over a number of days between a Byzantine expeditionary army under Emperor Alexios I Komnenos and the forces of the Sultanate of Rûm under Sultan Malik Shah; it occurred in the course of the Byzantine–Seljuk wars.
