Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Appius Claudius Pulcher was a Roman general of the 3rd century BC, active in the Second Punic War. Son of Publius Claudius Pulcher (consul 249 BC), in 217 BC he was aedile. In the following year he was military tribune, and fought at Cannae. Together with Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus Major he was raised to the supreme command by the troops who had fled to Canusium. In 215 BC he was created praetor, and conducted the relics of the defeated army into Sicily, where his efforts to detach Hieronymus, the grandson of Hiero II, from his connexion with the Carthaginians, were unsuccessful. He remained in Sicily the following year also, as propraetor and legatus to Marcus Claudius Marcellus, having charge of the fleet and the camp at Leontini. In 213 BC, when the Carthaginians landed there, he co-commanded an expedition to the island with M. Claudius Marcellus.[citation needed] In 212 BC he was elected consul, and in conjunction with his colleague Quintus Fulvius Flaccus undertook the siege of Capua. At the close of his year of office, in pursuance of a decree of the Senate, he went to Rome and created two new consuls.
