He defeated the Carthaginian chief Hasdrubal at the celebrated Battle of Panormus, leading to the turn of the First Punic War and to the Roman domination of Sicily. In that Battle, in which he deserved the Honours of the Triumph, he defeated thirteen enemy Generals and captured one hundred and twenty elephants, some of which he exhibited to the Roman People, since then starting to appear with frequency in the Caecilii coins. In this Battle so decisive for Rome the enormous supremacy of the adversary for them, resultant of the terrible elephants then for the first time faced by the Romans was subdued by alluring the enemy to terrains where ditches or cavities were previously opened in which with spears, stakes, surprise and quick counterattack the infantry managed to impose and put in flee the powerful attacking forces.
