Agathocles, the tyrant of ancient Syracuse for more than 25 years.
Agathocles of Syracuse (c. 361 - 289 BCE) ruled as a tyrant of the Sicilian city for over 25 years. Ambitious, unprincipled, and seeing himself as a new Alexander, he famously attacked Carthage in a three-year campaign and made conquests in southern Italy, but ultimately his quest for a lasting Sicilian-Italian empire failed. On Agathocles' death, his lack of a recognized successor caused chaos at Syracuse and his memory was officially obliterated with a damnatio memoriae. His greatest legacy was perhaps that he had shown Carthage could be defeated in Africa, a lesson the Romans would later use to devastating effect in the Punic Wars.

039: Agathocles of Syracuse - Tyrant & King
In Greek Sicily, the rule of law was dominated by the tyrant, and no tyrant was more infamous than Agathocles (361 - 289 B.C.). For over three decades he ruled the city of Syracuse as both a tyrant and king, bringing it into a golden age. At the same time, Agathocles enacted political massacres and acts of brutality to ensure his control, and he waged war against the Phoenician city-state of Carthage, taking the battle to the shores of Africa in a bloody campaign that served as a precursor to the Punic Wars.

095: Ptolemaic Egypt - The Two Lands Restored
Twenty years of chaos in the Ptolemaic kingdom come to an end during the reign of Ptolemy V Epiphanes (204-180). His marriage to the Seleucid princess Cleopatra I Syra confirmed the loss of Coele Syria to Antiochus III, yet she proved to be a good match and helped secure the future of the dynasty. Haronnophoris and the Great Revolt are finally put down in 186, but the Alexandrian government is forced to give concessions to the Egyptians, as the Ptolemies must now come to terms with their new status as a second-class power in the Mediterranean. We also delve into the history of the Rosetta Stone, the Hellenistic period's most famous document, and its role in the decipherment of Ancient Egyptian.

In this animated history documentary we continue our coverage of the Punic Sicilian Wars. This episode covers the Seventh Punic Sicilian War which saw Agathocles rise as tyrant of Syracuse to challenge Carthage once more. Yet unlike his predecessors, he would raise the stakes of this conflict by launching an invasion of north Africa. This Greek invasion would see the very capital of Carthage put to siege. But the siege of Carthage was just the start of Agathocles' ambitious campaign to take North Africa from the enemy.

In 333 BC he married the widow of his patron Damas, a distinguished and wealthy citizen.
He was twice banished for attempting to overthrow the oligarchical party in Syracuse.
In 317 BC he returned with an army of mercenaries under a solemn oath to observe the democratic constitution which was established after they took the city.
Having massacred the oligarchs and the richest of the citizenry, he thus made himself master of Syracuse, and he created a strong army and fleet and subdued the greater part of Sicily.
War with Carthage followed.
In 311 BC Agathocles was defeated in the Battle of the Himera River and besieged in Syracuse.
In 310 BC he made a desperate effort to break through the blockade and attack Carthage.
He landed at Cap Bon in August 310 BC, and was able to defeat the Carthaginians for the first time, and establish a camp near Tunis.
He then turned east, and tried to take over trading coastal cities such as Neapolis and Hadrumetum, and on this occasion concluded an alliance with Ailymas,
king of the Libyans according to Diodorus of Sicily, in an attempt to surround and isolate Carthage.
After capturing Hadrumetum, Thapsus and other coastal towns, Agathocles turned his attention to central Tunisia.

Buried beneath the city streets of the Tunisian capital of Tunis, an ancient city lies forgotten...
In this episode, we look at one of the most dramatic stories to come down to us from the ancient world: the rise and fall of the empire of Carthage. Find out how this city rose out of the Phoenician states of the Eastern Mediterranean, and set out on voyages of discovery and settlement that put them at the centre of the ancient world. And hear how the city of Carthage was destroyed, and its memory nearly wiped from the earth.

In this animated history documentary we continue our coverage of the Punic Sicilian Wars. This episode covers the Seventh Punic Sicilian War which saw Agathocles rise as tyrant of Syracuse to challenge Carthage once more. Yet unlike his predecessors, he would raise the stakes of this conflict by launching an invasion of north Africa. This Greek invasion would see the very capital of Carthage put to siege. But the siege of Carthage was just the start of Agathocles' ambitious campaign to take North Africa from the enemy.
