Diodorus Siculus - Book 22 (Quote One)

"The utmost spirit or rivalry was not lacking on either side, for the Macedonians were bent on saving their ships, while the Siceliotes wished not only to be regarded as victors over the Carthaginians and the barbarians of Italy, but also to show themselves in the Greek arena as more then a match for the Macedonians, whose spears had subjected both Asia and Europe." (Diodorus Siculus - 2.2)

Diodorus Siculus lived from est. 90BC to 30BC.
