   In 256BC, the Roman consul Marcus Atilius Regulus was sent to command a legion in North Africa during First Punic War. After winning a naval battle at Cape Eknomos, Regulus encamped near the Bagradas River in preparation for a coming battle. However soon after, large numbers of his men began disappearing. When more men were sent to investigate, they reported back that a great Serpent or "Dragon" had been devouring the men while they went to the River for water. The entire Roman Legion is said to have battled with this Great Serpent of Bagradas. Neither throwing javelins or arrows were able to pierce it's skin. Finally Regulus ordered the ballistae brought up and hurled massive stones onto the serpent, crushing it to death under several boulders. The skin of the Great Dragon, which was sent back to Rome, is said to have been 120 feet long.
