249 BCE : The naval Battle of Drepana (or Drepanum) took place during the First Punic War near Drepana (modern Trapani) in western Sicily, between a Carthaginian fleet under Adherbal and a Roman fleet commanded by Publius Claudius Pulcher.
Pulcher was blockading the Carthaginian stronghold of Lilybaeum (modern Marsala) when he decided to attack their fleet, which was in the harbour of the nearby city of Drepana
The Roman fleet sailed by night to carry out a surprise attack but became scattered in the dark. Adherbal was able to lead his fleet out to sea before it was trapped in harbour; having gained sea room in which to manoeuvre he then counter-attacked.
The Romans were pinned against the shore, and after a day of fighting were heavily defeated by the more manoeuvrable Carthaginians ships with their better-trained crews. It was Carthage's greatest naval victory of the war.
