Indeed, in 306 BC they were reinforced with the reciprocal recognition of a Roman sphere of influence over Italy and a Carthaginian one over Sicily.
The struggle between Rome and Carthage was to continue until the end of the century (264-201 BC) ending in two separate conflicts: Sicily was the scene of the first (264-241 BC) until it became a Roman province; and slightly later (238-227 BC) Sardinia and Corsica met the same fate.
The events of the first century BC in Italy are marked by a move from republican liberties to dictatorial regimes and a return to a democratic-type structure (rather similar to present-day presidential republics) with the advent of the principate of Augustus (27 BC-AD 14).

Treaty of 348 BC In the treaty of 348 BC Carthage had undertaken to respect all Latin territory and coast towns as a Roman sphere of influence, and granted to Roman traders admission to the ports of her dominions of Africa, Sardinia and Sicily, as well as of Carthage itself.
Treaty of 306 BC Second Treaty (306 BC): The treaty redefines the terms of the restrictions on Roman trade.
However, the terms of the treaty against Pyrrhus in 279 make those of the treaty in 348 seem an unsatisfactory precedent, and so it would seem that there was a treaty later than the one in 348 which would serve as a better antecedent to the one in 279.
