This volume analyses the Carthaginian policy towards Sicily, from the earliest recorded contacts in the 6th century to the expulsion of Punic influences by the Romans in the 3rd century.It aims at reconstructing Carthaginian policy and strategies towards the island by looking beyond the opinions of the partisan accounts of the Greek and Roman historians, and attempting to trace the logic of the actions themselves in search of long-term regularities. The emerging picture shows how the Carthaginians struggled with the “Sicilian question” on their part, and that far from embracing a truly expansionist policy, Carthage was in fact drawn deeper and deeper into the affairs of the island and motivated mostly by the account of gains and losses.This volume provides a valuable resource for students and scholars working on Carthage, Greek Sicily, and the Roman expansion into southern Italy.

The book offers a reassessment of Diodorus Siculus' historiographical principles and their application in the Bibliotheke Historike, approached through systematic analysis of the text rather than assumptions about its author as a passive compiler.Readers will gain a rigorous re-evaluation of how Diodorus conceived, organised and executed his universal history, including its genre, programme, polemical method, use of speeches, structural principles, and moral framework. Rather than relying on presumptions about the author to explain the text, the book analyses the Bibliotheke on its own terms across five thematic chapters before synthesising the findings into a revised portrait of Diodorus as a historian. By uniting philological precision with interpretive moderation, this study aims to bridge a long-standing divide in scholarship between the two sides of the modern debate on the author.The book is intended for scholars and students of ancient Greek historiography, Hellenistic history, and classical studies, as well as for those working on ancient literature. It will also be of interest to historians who rely on the Bibliotheke Historike as a source of information or are concerned with the broader questions of how universal histories were conceived and written in the ancient world.
