The Battle of Sulci was a naval battle fought in 258 BC between the Roman and Carthaginian navies of the coast near the town of Sulci. It was a minor Roman victory, obtained by consul Gaius Sulpicius Paterculus. The battle in reality was rather small-scale, and as for the Carthaginian loss, it was thus negligible.
