Leaving Lilybaeum, Claudius attacked Drepanum but was out-manoeuvered and lost most of his fleet (Polyb. 1.49-51; Diod. 24.1.5; Liv. Per. 19; Frontin. Str. 2.13.9; Gell. 10.6; Flor. 1.18.29; Eutrop. 2.26.1; Oros. 4.10.3; Schol. Bob.; p. 90 Stangl; cf. Zon. 8.15). His contempt for the auspices, when he threw the sacred chickens into the sea, is frequently mentioned (Cic. ND 2.7; Div. 1.29; 2.20 and 71; Liv. Per. 19; Liv. 22.42.9; Val. Max. 1.4.3; 8.1, abs. 4; Suet. Tib. 2; Flor. 1.18.29; Eutrop. 2.26). He was recalled, later tried, and failing of condemnation for perduellio, was heavily fined (Polyb. 1.52.1-3; Cic. ND 2.7; Div. 1.29; 2.71; Ateius Capito in Gell. 10.6; Val. Max. 8.1, abs. 4; Suet. Tib. 2; Schol. Bob., p. 90 Stangl). Iunius lost his fleet in a storm near Camarina, when the Carthaginians had backed him up against a lee shore, but with his army he temporarily won Mt. Eryx (Polyb. 1.52.5-55; Diod. 24.1.7-11; Eutrop. 2.26; Oros. 4.10.3; Zon. 8.15). It is stated that he too disregarded the auspices, and committed suicide (Cic. ND 2.7; Div. 1.29; 2.20 and 71; Val. Max. 1.4.3.; Minuc. Felix 7.4; 26.2). (Broughton MRR I)
