( the mamertines are crying out for help to both rome and carthage. )

[ in the town of messana. The mamertines raided messana. Rome began to press Syracuse. And Syracuse was fighting against the mamertines. This led to the mamertines calling out to carthage for help. And then rome. The two sides went. But carthage left. At first. The two nations love to give peace. And even signed a couple treaties. But it turned sour. And turned all out war. The two sides began to fight. ]
