Carthage was moving from a trading nation with a strong navy to support and protect its trade, into acquisition of territory to cement its trading areas by occupation in Spain and Sicily. It had previously suffered severe losses in Sicily to its citizen army in 480 BCE, and had switched to hiring mercenaries to avoid future massive casualties to its people, and when it faced a collision with Rome in Sicily in the 260s BCE, fielded a mercenary army.
