1. issus

   There seems to be a misunderstanding here. "Issus" is not an English term, so it doesn't have a general definition in English language. It could potentially be a misspelling or specific to a certain industry or field. There's "issue" which means an important topic or problem for debate or discussion or "Issus" which is a genus of insects. More context would be needed to provide an accurate definition.

1. Issus

   Issus is an ancient settlement on the strategic coastal plain straddling the small Pinarus river below the navigationally difficult inland mountains towering above to the east in the Turkish Province of Hatay, near the border with Syria. It can be identified with Kinet Höyük in the village of Yeṣilköy near Dörtyol in the Hatay province of Turkey. Excavations on the mound occurred between 1992 and 2012 by Bilkent University. It is most notable for being the place of no less than three decisive ancient or medieval battles each called in their own era the Battle of Issus: ⁕The Battle of Issus; Alexander the Great of Macedonia defeated Darius III of Persia. This battle is occasionally called the First Battle of Issus, but is more generally known simply as the Battle of Issus, owing to the importance of Alexander's victory over the First Persian Empire and its impact on subsequent history of the region, including all the successor polities. ⁕Battle of Issus, or Second Battle of Issus — between the forces of Emperor Septimius Severus and his rival, Pescennius Niger. ⁕Battle of Issus, or Third Battle of Issus — between the Byzantine Empire and the Sassanid Persian Empire. That the Byzantines would triumph in this battle was allegedly prophesied by Mohammed.

1. issus

   An ancient city and seaport in Cilicia, in Asia Minor, close to the frontier of Syria, on or near the head of the Sinus Issicus, now the Gulf of Scanderoon. It was in the neighborhood of this city that Alexander the Great annihilated the Persian army under Darius in 333 B.C. Here too was fought (194 A.D.), the bloody battle between Septimus Severus and Pescennius Niger, by virtue of which the former became sole master of the Roman empire. The exact site of Issus has not yet been discovered.
