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.
