In today's video we examine the the opening decade of the First Punic War, which saw it evolve from a conflict over the single city of Messana to a war to decide the ownership of Sicily. Starting as a war on land, it eventually resulted in one of the biggest naval conflicts in human history, including perhaps the largest sea battle in human history, the Battle of Ecnomus.
