And they call the the, they're like, hey, uh, Pyrrhus is in town, he's in the neighborhood.
Let's call him in and see if we can get him to help us against.
our old enemy, the Carthaginians.
And it's really this Pyrrhus coming to Sicily.
And Pyrrhus fighting the Carthaginians, and the Carthaginians not showing up at all, doing abysmally against Pyrrhus.
So they're literally beaten all the way back to Lilibaum, their base on the southwest coast of Sicily.
And he leaves.
So Pyrrhus just leaves.
He's beaten the Romans, but the Romans have come back really strong.
He's beaten the Carthaginians, and then he leaves Sicily, and the Carthaginians sort of
bounce back from their defeat and they really um, you know, push themselves out across Sicily.
And we have the Romans right at the tip.
of Italy and the Carthaginians, just at the northeast corner of Sicily, and they really are facing each other across the Straits of Messina, as we call them or the Straits of Messana.
Absolutely.
And they're you know, they're facing each other.
And rumor has this our sources of course are a little bit m um uh confused or or uh you know, fragmentary for this period.
But there is in Polybius um a mention of a treaty of Rome and Carthage actually allying over fighting Pyrrhus.
And you know, they um it's sort of the last time they sign a treaty in friendship against Pyrrhus.
Uh and that's I think important too, because it's it's this framework changes completely because all of a sudden there is
Buffer, there's nobody in between them.
