J. F. Lazenby presents a detailed scholarly study of the First Punic War, the twenty-three-year conflict fought between Rome and Carthage from 264–241 BC that established Rome as a dominant Mediterranean power. Drawing on surviving ancient evidence and modern historical analysis, the author examines the origins of the war, the major campaigns and personalities, and the political and military developments that shaped its outcome.
Chapters cover the early phases of the conflict, the Roman naval expansion, key battles such as Ecnomus, the campaigns of Regulus, and Carthage’s resurgence before concluding with an assessment of the war’s wider significance. Supported by maps, plans, chronology, notes and bibliography, this is an important academic work on one of antiquity’s defining struggles.
