THE BATTLE OF CAPE ECNOMUS 256 BC Following there victory at Agrigentum in 262 BC, the Roman republic decided to build an armada that would challenge and destroy Carthaginian naval dominance over the western Mediterranean Sea. Rome constructed a fleet of three hundred warships and placed them under the command of consuls Marcus Regulus and Lucius Longus. The Roman fleet sailed along the Sicilian coast arrayed in a triangle wedge deployed into three squadrons. The left was commanded by Regulus and the right was under Longus with the supply transports following close behind in the center. The Carthaginians, commanded by Hanno and Hamilcar, possessed an equally large force of three hundred and thirty vessels. Carthage’s battle fleet was disposed in a long straight line with the center and left commanded by Hamilcar and the right by Hanno. Both fleets converged upon one another off the southern coast of Sicily near Mount Ecnomus. The Romans now rearranged there fleet into a wedge formation and continued forward against the enemy center. The Carthaginian captains were under strict orders to fall back once the Romans came with striking range. As they began this manoeuvre the Romans believed the enemy fleet was retreating and continued to pursue them vigorously. When the Carthaginians felt they had drawn the forward enemy vessels far enough from their main body, Hamilcar ordered his warships to reverse oars and confront their pursuers. At the same moment Hanno’s right wing fell upon the exposed Roman transports. After a half day of close quarter fighting, the Carthaginian center finally broke. Marcus Regulus, observing the struggle in which the reserve squadron was involved, hastened to their assistance. When he began to engage Hanno's ships, it was now the Carthaginian’s which were now completely exposed. After a further two hours fighting Hanno’s squadrons lost formation, gave way and were pushed out to sea. At that same moment, Consul Longus and II squadron finally broke through and scattered the Carthaginian left. With no support forth coming, Hamilcar had no choice but to order his remaining ships to retreat back to Carthage. The Battle of Ecnomus was now over. The Romans lost 25 ships and 10,000 men killed and wounded in comparison to the much heavier Carthaginian losses of 35 warships sunk, 60 captured and 40,000 sailors killed, wounded or captured . Following the battle, the bronze ramming prows of the captured Carthaginian warships were sent back to Rome and place on display to adorn the the Forum.

THE BATTLE FOR ROMAN BRITANNIA 60 AD In 60 AD, an alliance of British tribes led by Boudica, Queen of the Iceni, rose up against Roman rule and severely mauled the 9th Hispania Legion under General Quintus Cerialis. She then went on to completely destroy the towns of Verulamium, Colchester and the capital city of London. The military Governor of Roman Britannia, Gaius Suetonius, hastily gathered the 14th Gemina and parts 20th Valeria Victrix Legion (In all some ten thousand men) and awaited Boudica's much larger army nearly one hundred thousand strong in the midlands between London and Wroxeter. The Romans lined up in a narrow gorge with thick forests to thier flanks and rear. The gorge itself opened out into a wide plain which offered a limited front in which Suetonius was to give battle. By contrast Boudica's forces set up and paraded wildly everywhere. Thier confidence was such that they placed there wagon train in an arc formation at the end of the battlefield, from which point the women and children could watch what they expected to be a great victory. Boudica began the battle launching a massive frontal assault on the Roman Lines. As the Britons drew nearer, they were met by waves of Roman javelins which killed or wounded almost five thousand tribesmen with each volley, decimating there front ranks. As Boudica's charge began to wain, General Suetonius concluded they had absorbed the fury and momentum from the Britons and ordered his Legionaries to draw there short swords and began to march forward. With there superior weapons, armor and training, they easily advanced unappeaded through the densely packed masses of the enemy. As British losses mounted they attempted to turn and flee but thier escape was blocked by thier own wagons and they were mercilessly cut down and slaughtered. The Romans killed not only armed warriors but also the women and children. After an entire day of one sided carnage and butchery, seventy five thousand Britons lay dead or dying for the meager Roman losses of six hundred Legionaries. It is believed that Boudica survived the battle only to have poisoned herself afterwards to avoid capture
