The Sequel of the First Punic War
The confirmation of this peace was followed by events
which involved both nations in a struggle of an identical or
similar nature. At Rome the late war was succeeded by a
social war against the Faliscans, which, however, they brought
to a speedy and successful termination by the
capture of Falerii after only a few days' siege. War between Rome and Falerii.
The Carthaginians were not so fortunate. The mercenary war, B. C. 241.Just
about the same time they found themselves confronted by three
enemies at once, their own mercenaries, the
Numidians, and such Libyans as joined the former in their revolt. And this war proved to be
neither insignificant nor contemptible. It exposed them to frequent and terrible alarms; and, finally, it became a question to

different races, act wisely as far as the preve

"The Carthaginians shall evacuate Sicily and
all islands lying between Italy and Sicily.
"The allies of neither of the parties to the treaty shall be
attacked by the other.
"Neither party shall impose any contribution, nor erect any
public building, nor enlist soldiers in the dominions of the
other, nor make any compact of friendship with the allies of
the other.
"The Carthaginians shall within ten years pay to the
Romans two-thousand two-hundred talents, and a thousand
