Looks like Dolabella suffered quite some losses while trying to reach Syracuse. Getting new ships to his fleet will be quite costly, especially since we are many months away from March (tax month).

Not the decisive battle I was hopingfor. I suppose Marcus Octavius simply had ordered his men to disengage withing the first few hours of battle, preventing the Caesarians from delivering the final blow. One mistake on Caesar’s part was ...
