January 281 BC: In 282 BC the Tarentines, who were drunkenly celebrating parties in honor of the god Dionysus in a theater overlooking the sea, escorted by the Roman ships (of merchants), believed that they were advancing against them and attacked them. After the attack on the Roman fleet, the Tarentines, realizing that their reaction to the Roman provocation could lead to war and convinced of Rome's hostile attitude, marched against Thurii, which was taken and sacked. The Tarentines, who did not respect the following embassies from Rome, thus began the war, also involving Epirus, called to help by the Tarentines against the Romans.
April 281 BC: Seleukos is murdered by Ptolemy Keraunos, who takes power in Macedonia.
