See important Masterworks disclosures: Having stood his ground against Carthage in the Third Punic Sicilian War, Dionysius of Syracuse now takes the offense in a series of wars which expand beyond the bounds of Sicily. This includes an invasion of Italy, sending troops to aide the Spartans in Greece, and restoring King Alcetas to the throne of Epirus. However the true goal of Dionysius was always to become master of Sicily and he eventually renewed his wars with Carthage. These would result in ever more massive battles which saw the fortunes of war swing wildly between both sides.
