Prelude to the First Punic War

After the conquest of Magna Graecia the Romans came into contact with the greatest power in the Mediterranean, Carthage. Tense political situation in Sicily is made even worse with the death of Agathocles of Syracuse. Rogue mercenaries from Campania serve as a spark that would ignite a conflict for the supremacy of Mediterranean, lasting over a century.
