    The ancient sources listed on wikipedia's article on the war (mercenary war) are:

    Appian, History of Rome: The Sicilian Wars.
    Appian, History of Rome: The Punic Wars.
    Diodorus Siculus, Universal History.
    Livy, History of Rome (and Perioche).
    Nepos, Cornelius, Lives of Eminent Commanders. (not sure which life in particular)
    Pausanias, Description of Greece.
    Polybius, The Histories.
    Zonaras, Joannes, Epitome Historiarum (chiefly the epitome of the writings of Dio Cassius ).
    Naevius, "Bellum Punicum", published in Remains of Old Latin, Vol. 2, Loeb.

    Use Gustave Flaubert's "Salommbe" for some atmosphere ;)
