Trigger of the conflict:Messina

Rome hesitates to intervene, the Mamertines are of Italian origin, which could encourage solidarity, but they are rebel soldiers installed by force.

Rome finally sent in 264 BC. J.C. the consul Appius Claudius Caudex in Rhegium, from where he manages to disembark in Messina.

The military escalation reaches its fatal point:Hanno and Hiero besiege Messina, Appius Claudius enjoins them to lift the siege. Hieron refuses, replying that he is exercising just reprisals against the aggressions of the Mamertines[4]. War is declared.

Premises of the conflict:control of the Strait of Messina
