Pyrrhic means: Costly
The Pyrrhic War (280-275 BCE) was primarily caused by the expansionist ambitions of both the Greek city-states and the rising power of Rome. King Pyrrhus of Epirus was invited by the Greek city of Tarentum to assist in their conflict against Rome, which they viewed as a threat to their autonomy. The war was marked by a series of battles where Pyrrhus achieved tactical victories but suffered heavy losses, leading to the term "Pyrrhic victory," which refers to a win that comes at such a significant cost that it is almost tantamount to defeat. Ultimately, the conflict highlighted the growing tension between Hellenistic states and Rome's expanding influence in Italy.
