The Battle of Sulci was a naval battle fought in 258 BC between the Roman and Carthaginian navies on the coast near the town of Sulci, Sardinia. It was a Roman victory, obtained by consul Gaius Sulpicius Paterculus. The Carthaginian fleet was largely sunk, and the rest of the ships were abandoned on land.[1][2] The Carthaginian commander Hannibal Gisco was crucified or stoned to death by his mutinying army.[1][2]
The Romans were subsequently defeated by a certain Hanno in Sardinia, and the Roman attempt to capture the island failed.[1] The loss of ships prevented the Carthaginians from mounting major operations from Sardinia against the Romans.[1]
