==== Sicily ====
* Xenodocus, a general from [[Agrigento|Acragas]], leads an army of 10,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry against [[Agathocles of Syracuse|Agathocles]]' generals on Sicily. Leptines and Demophilus, two of Agathocles' generals, oppose Xenoducus with 8,200 infantry and 1,200 cavalry. Xenoducus is defeated and retreats to Acragas. As a result of this defeat the people of Acragas give up the fight against Agathocles.<ref name=Diod56>{{cite book|last=Siculus|first=Diodorus|title=Library|url=https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Diodorus_Siculus/20B*.html#56|volume=XX|chapter=56}}</ref>
* Agathocles puts in at [[Selinus]], marches on Heraclea (probably [[Heraclea Minoa]]) and forces its people to submit once more. He then marches across the island on the city of [[Termini Imerese|Therma]], makes a treaty with its people and removes its Carthaginian garrison. After taking [[Cephaloedium]] (near Therma), he marches back south taking the cities of [[Centuripe|Centuripa]] and [[Apollonia (Sicily)|Sicily]].<ref name=Diod56/>
* Deinocrates, the leader of the exiles, proclaims himself the champion of common liberty and  uses this to gather the bulk of Agathocles' enemies into one army. After mustering an army of 20,000 infantry and 1,500 cavalry, he marches on Agathocles, who refuses to do battle and retreats to [[Syracuse (Sicily)|Syracuse]].<ref name="Diod57"/>
* Receiving word of the losses that had been inflicted on his expeditionary army (commanded by his son Archagathus) in Africa, Agathocles equips 17 warships to go to his son's aid. While breaking through the Carthaginian blockade, he is able to defeat his opponents' fleet.<ref name=Diod61/>

* Agathocles purges Syracuse of his opponents; 500 citizens are executed.

* After meeting disaster in Africa (losing his army and two of his sons), Agathocles returns to Sicily. In dire need of cash, he razes the city of [[Segesta]].<ref name=Diod71>{{cite book|last=Siculus|first=Diodorus|title=Library|url=https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Diodorus_Siculus/20B*.html#71|volume=XX|chapter=71}}</ref>
