[QUOTE]Originally posted by IronLion: [QB] By the time the Greeks placed their own colonies in western Sicily, the Carthaginians had already occupied the western end of the island, and for centuries the two sides struggled indecisively to seize control of the whole island. In 264, the Romans began a major war with the Carthaginians in Sicily (the First Punic War, 264-242), eventually wrestling away Sicily, Corsica and Sardinia from the Carthaginians. During the Second Punic War (218-202), the Carthaginian general Hannibal inflicted major defeats on the Romans, who eventually won the day, restricting the Carthaginians to their own immediate territory in Africa." See http://www.ualberta.ca/~csmackay/CLASS_110/Hittites.html In 210 BC, the Roman Consul M. Valerian informed the Senate that "no Carthaginian remains in Sicily."
