The Battle of Cape Ecnomus, 256 BC

Colorized illustration depicts The Battle of Cape Ecnomus, 256 BC. This Punic War naval battle, possibly the largest naval battle in history, took place off southern Sicily between the fleets of Carthage and the Roman Republic. The Carthaginians took the initiative and the battle devolved into three separate conflicts. After a prolonged and confused day of fighting, the Carthaginians were decisively defeated, losing 30 ships sunk and 64 captured to Roman losses of 24 ships sunk. After an engraving from Naval Battles, Ancient and Modern by Edward Shippen, 1883.
