Answer:

Rome gained control of regions in the western Mediterranean Sea.

Step-by-step explanation:

A result of the first Punic War and the Romans was the decisive naval victory against the Carthaginians at the Aegate Islands. This gave Rome full control of Sicily and Corsica. The end of the First Punic War saw the beginning of the Roman expansion beyond the Italian peninsula.
