The Battle of Tindarys is a naval battle of the First Punic War, which took place off Tindarys (modern Tindari) in 257 BC.
Tindarys was a Sicilian town founded as a Greek colony in 396 BC located on the high ground overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea in the Gulf of Patti.
Hiero II, tyrant of Syracuse, allowed Tindarys to become a base for the Carthaginians; however, after this battle, which took place in the waters between Tindarys and the Aeolian Islands, with Marcus Atilius Regulus at the command of the Roman fleet, the town fell to Rome.

 Corvus (weapon). Who is Corvus (weapon)? What is Corvus (weapon)? Where is Corvus (weapon)? Definition of Corvus ...
The corvus at sea allowed the Republic to make use of this superiority against the more efficient Carthaginian fleet.
The tactics of applying land manpower at sea worked, as the Romans won the battles of Mylae, Sulci, Tindarys and Ecnomus, largely due to the corvus strategy and Carthaginian incapacity to adapt.
Despite all its qualities, the corvus had serious drawbacks: modern enactments show that it's use compromised the ship's navigability, since it forces an extra weight on the prow.
