I am looking to discover what contemporary Romans called the 1st Punic War - both at the time and in the intervening period before the 2nd Punic War. I've checked Lazenby, Craven, Goldsworthy and Connelly without coming across any references. Though it's certainly possible I just missed them.<br>
<br>
I suspect the war went by a succession of names, depending upon where in 'Italy' you were from and what part your community was playing at the time.<br>
<br>
It would be illuminating to know what contemporary Greeks and/or Sicels called the war as well.<br>
<br>
Any thoughts? <p></p><i></i>
