By place Greece •
Athens allied itself with the city state of
Megara which was under pressure from
Corinth. This alliance leads to war between Corinth and Athens. The first battle of the war, at
Haliesis in the Gulf of
Argolis, resulted in a Corinthian victory, but the next battle, the
battle of Cecryphalea (modern
Angistrion), went Athens' way.
Roman Republic • The
Aequi occupied
Tusculum. In response to the threat, the
Roman Senate decided to send an army to help the allied city, under the command of consul
Lucius Cornelius Maluginensis. In addition, the consul
Fabius Vibulanus, who was at that point besieging
Antium, moved his forces to attack Tusculum. The Tusculans were able to recapture their city. A truce was then arranged with the Aequi.
Sicily • The
Sicilian town of
Morgantina was destroyed by
Ducetius, Hellenised leader of the
Siculi (according to
Diodorus Siculus). == Births ==
