The first war between Rome and Carthage lasted twenty-four years (264-241 BC) without interruption. It was "the longest, most continuous, and most extensive" of which Polybius had heard, and marked the moment when Rome aspired to become an extra-Italian power, since its main objective was the possession of Sicily.
