Abstract: The aim of this study is to identify an important stage in the military history of Carthage in Sicily, where it faced the Corinthian commander Temoleon, after it fought fierce wars against Sicilian tyrants, from Gillon to Dionysius, as this conflict constituted a prominent event in the history of the Mediterranean region in general and the history of North Africa and Carthage in particular. It also shows the clear role of the Greek mother country in supporting the various military operations initiated by various Greek leaders against the Carthaginian army on the island of Sicily, and thus Carthage sought by all means to stop this campaign initiated by the Corinthian commander Temoleon in Sicily, and confront him militarily, starting in 343 BC. From the Battle of Crimissus in 339 BC to the peace treaty concluded between the two parties, Carthage always took advantage of the circumstances in which Syracuse was living in terms of turmoil and chaos, with its keenness to create strategic alliances, so what are the circumstances, causes, results and implications of this campaign on the Carthaginian-Greek conflict in Sicily. Keywords: Sicily, Carthage, temoleon, tyrany, Crimissus.
