Much has been written about the sea battles that were fought in the 1st Punic War. Rome had to play "catch up" in terms of a viable navy. Of course there were also battles on land and battles when a number of Roman infantry men could board a Carthage ship and engage in hand to hand fighting on a ship's deck. Here is a list of weapons used by Rome in the First Punic War that began in 264 BC-BCE to 241 BC-BCE.

A. Spears, javelins, swords, daggers and shields.

B. The warships known as Quinqueremes

C. The corvus, this was the innovative spiked boarding ramp which allowed Roman soldiers to board the ships of Carthage and engage in hand to hand fighting.

D.On land, Romans used their calvary.
