[edit] Events

Agis IV succeeds his father, Eudamidas II, as King of Sparta.
The war in Asia Minor and the Aegean Sea intensifies as the Achaean League allies itself to Ptolemy III of Egypt, while Seleucus II secures two allies in the Black Sea region. Ptolemy III's armies reach as far as Bactria and the borders of India in their attacks on the Seleucid Empire.
By defeating the Egyptian fleet at Andros, Antigonus II is able to maintain his control over the Aegean Sea.

Hamilcar Barca transfers his army to the slopes of Mount Eryx (Monte San Giuliano), from which he is able to lend support to the besieged garrison in the neighbouring town of Drepanum (Trapani).
