1 The First Punic War 264 – 241 BC

2 Messana is invaded and occupied by the Mamertini, who were mercenaries once employed by Syracuse. The Syracusans, under their leader Hiero try to drive out the Mamertines. The Mamertines appeal to both Carthage and Rome for help A Carthaginian fleet receives the call first and lands a garrison at Messana

3 As this happens the Romans receive their request The Roman senate meet and decide to follow their foreign policy and intervene even though: The Mamertini were mercenaries; This action could lead to war with Carthage; If the Carthaginians had control of Messana they would have control of the straights of Messana, the route between Sicily and Italy When the Romans arrive the Mamertini side with them and this pushes the Carthaginians out

4 When Carthage hears of this they decide to recover Messana and so they send reinforcements Under Hiero the Syracusans form an alliance with Carthage and attack Messana Rome sends more troops and defeats the Carthaginian garrison and Hiero This leaves Rome in control of Messana but at war with Carthage and Syracuse
