  • With the final conclusion of the Sicilian wars, Carthage had been left with overall control of Sicily. Meanwhile, however, Roman power had expanded throughout all of the Italian peninsula. With control extending all the way to the toe of the boot, keeping in mind that Italy is shaped like a boot, only a small channel of water separated Rome from Sicily.

  • Hannibal, after receiving siege weapons from Carthage, lays siege to Rome. Alarmed by this, the armies surrounding Capua go to Rome, where they are slaughtered by Hannibal. Hasdrubal Barca joins up with Hannibal, and Scipio Africanus leaves Africa and returns to Rome, which leads to the Battle of Rome. Scipio is defeated and goes into exile. Hannibal, along with his brother, lay siege to Rome and eight months later, the walls are broken and the city is leveled.
  • With the final conclusion of the Sicilian wars, Carthage had been left with overall control of Sicily. Meanwhile, however, Roman power had expanded throughout all of the Italian peninsula. With control extending all the way to the toe of the boot, keeping in mind that Italy is shaped like a boot, only a small channel of water separated Rome from Sicily. So when the Mamertines sought Roman help in dealing with the Carthaginians, the Roman Senate was ready to listen. And so it was, in 264 BCE, that an expedition was sent under the leadership of Consul Appius Claudius Caudex. Which kicked off the first of three Punic Wars.
