It took 27 years for Rome to hear about Carthage. People think Rome should suffer, if they did anything wrong. People seemed the Carthage were free traders. Carthage had power to the prisoners and out of any Latin city, if they weren't subject to Rome. One of the only places that Carthage were able to trade was Sicily.

The people were preparing Hannibal, and then they were going to attack. Lots of walls were down, and houses were on fire and a ton of destruction. The Carthaginians left after that attack.
-
For two months, the army was outside. Hannibal got a call that they needed to leave. The Romans went with Hannibal and Carthage. They went to Agrigentum and knew that they were fortunate and they left after a while.
-
The Syracusan went to attack. Eight ships sunk. The other ships went to find shore. Argrigentum was in distress. There was nothing to eat. No more food. There was nothing they could do. So, they went and abandon the city.

Hannibal succeed in Sicily. They persuaded the Carthage's that the whole island was going to be theirs. They were determined. 40 Carthage ships set out to sea to Sicily.

Dionysius sent Carthage a message and said that if the Greek cities didn't restore the freedom, Sicily will have peace. Carthage didn't prepare for war, and Sicily didn't have peace, so they declared war. The government had an unfailing supply of money.

He won too much glory in Italy, he passed it over to Sicily in the spring. Carthage offered them a lot of money, but he refused, because Carthage was his old enemy. And the Greek cities wanted help, so they invited him to come.

The Romans ceased to resist. Men with heavy armor could go swimming. Some tried it and some didn't. They were either struggling or drowned. They surrendered themselves the next day to Hannibal. Around 50 thousand people fell on the field or in the flight.
-
The Carthage decided to take the offensive. Hamilcar and his colleagues, marched out of the city, while all the destruction in the city. Houses are burnt to the floor. The Carthage risk a battle.

The most intense point of the march, the enemy attacked. Loss was great, but the army started to struggle. Once they were strong again, they struggled. The army took nine days to be strong and at the top again. Hannibal told them to keep up with their courage.
-
They could fight, but they didn't because of the new people that joined the army the year before. The army was around 90 thousand men. Aemilius wanted not to do the battle, because he was doubtful. On the other hand, Varro was very confident and wanted to do it. So, on the first day, they took position between Hannibal and the sea
