The Romans while sieging Messana in the Northen-Eastern part of Sicily, they closed the strait of Messina with the help of the Carthaginian fleet. This action didn’t fit well with Massaliot League since some major trade routes were cut off. Massaliot League, under heavy pressure from Dynatoi company, decided to send a fleet of twenty ships ,together with emissaries, to deal with the situation and open the straits for the league traders. While this move was made to ensure the trade routes of the league, Carthaginians and Rome saw it as an aggression move. In a sudden attack the Carthaginian-Roman fleet destroyed five and captured another six League ships.
