Hasdrubal the Fair
Hasdrubal the Fair (c. 270 BC – 221 BC) was a Carthaginian military leader and politician, governor in Iberia after Hamilcar Barca's death, and founder of Cartagena.
Life
Livy's History of Rome records he was the brother-in-law of the Carthaginian leader Hannibal and son-in-law of Hamilcar Barca.
Career
Hasdrubal followed Hamilcar in his campaign against the governing aristocracy at Carthage at the close of the First Punic War, and in his subsequent career of conquest in Hispania. In 237 BC, they parted towards the Peninsula, but around 231-230 BC Hasdrubal allegedly interceded in Hamilcar's name making the Numidian tribes from Northern Africa submit to the Barcid family; from there, Numidia fell into Carthage's sphere of influence.
After Hamilcar's death (228 BC, while besieging Heliké, a town in Hispania), Hasdrubal succeeded him in the command, following Carthage's instructions, Hamilcar's sons being too young - Hannibal, the elder, was nineteen. He largely preferred diplomacy to war campaigns. According to the diplomatic customs of the time, Hasdrubal demanded the handing over of hostages to make himself sure of the submission of their places of origin.

Battle of Metaurus: Rome ⚔️ Carthage 207 BC
The Punic Wars were a monumental series of battles between the Romans and the Carthaginians that took place in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BCE. The First Punic War, which lasted from 264 BCE to 241 BCE, is considered to be the longest and most severely contested war in history. The Second Punic War began in 218 BCE with the crossing of the Alps by the Carthaginian general Hannibal and his army in order to attack Italy. The Battle of Metaurus was one of the most pivotal battles of that war, taking place in 207 BCE near the Metauro River in Italy. The First Punic War had been won by the Romans, who subsequently imposed heavy burdens upon the conquered Carthaginians. In order to pay the tribute that the Romans put upon them, the Carthaginians had to tax their Spanish colonies. The greatest C...

He is widely regarded as one of the greatest military commanders in history. Hannibal's father, Hamilcar Barca, was a leading Carthaginian general during the First Punic War. Hannibal occupied most of southern Italy for 15 years. He was betrayed by the Romans and died by suicide with poison. Hannibal is considered one of the greatest military tacticians and generals of antiquity, alongside Philip of Macedon, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Scipio Africanus, and Pyrrhus. Hannibal was a common Semitic Phoenician-Carthaginian personal name.

The First Punic War had severed the friendship they once shared and the damage seemed permanent; even though the first clash between these former allies wasn’t initially about either of them.

The Punic Wars were a monumental series of battles between the Romans and the Carthaginians that took place in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BCE.
The First Punic War, which lasted from 264 BCE to 241 BCE, is considered to be the longest and most severely contested war in history. The Second Punic War began in 218 BCE with the crossing of the Alps by the Carthaginian general Hannibal and his army in order to attack Italy. The Battle of Metaurus was one of the most pivotal battles of that war, taking place in 207 BCE near the Metauro River in Italy.
The First Punic War had been won by the Romans, who subsequently imposed heavy burdens upon the conquered Carthaginians. In order to pay the tribute that the Romans put upon them, the Carthaginians had to tax their Spanish colonies. The greatest Carthaginian general at the time was Hamilcar Barca, and he was sent to Spain to quell the unrest that was created. He took his adult sons Hannibal and Hasdrubal, along with his older son-in-law Hasdrubal the Fair, with him. When Hamilcar was killed at the Battle of Helice in 228 BCE, Hasdrubal the Fair replaced him as commander of the Carthaginian army.
Hasdrubal the Fair managed to keep peaceful relations with the Romans until his assassination in 221 BCE. He was succeeded by Hannibal as the commander of the Carthaginian army. Prior to his death, seven years earlier, Hannibal’s father had made him vow to a hatred of the Romans for life. As a result, the new Carthaginian general rejected the conciliatory attitude of his predecessor. He also stopped the payment of the annual Roman tribute.
Hannibal was looking for an opportunity to take on the Romans, and it came when they installed an anti-Carthaginian army at Saguntum in Spain. He marched his army into the city and took possession of it as a liberator from Roman oppressive rule. In doing so, he struck the first blow of the Second Punic War.

Hannibal (247 – 183 x 181 bc),[n 1] fully Hannibal Barca, was a Punic Carthaginian military commander, generally considered one of the greatest military commanders in history. His father, Hamilcar Barca, was the leading Carthaginian commander during the First Punic War. His younger brothers were Mago and Hasdrubal, and he was brother-in-law to Hasdrubal the Fair.
Hannibal lived during a period of great tension in the Mediterranean, when the Roman Republic established its supremacy over other great powers such as Carthage and the Hellenistic kingdoms of Macedon, Syracuse, and the Seleucid Empire. One of his most famous achievements was at the outbreak of the Second Punic War, when he marched an army, which included elephants, from Iberia over the Pyrenees and the Alps into Italy. In his first few years in Italy, he won three dramatic victories—Trebia, Trasimene, and Cannae, in which he distinguished himself for his ability to determine his and his opponent's strengths and weaknesses, and to play the battle to his strengths and the enemy's weaknesses—and won over many allies of Rome. Hannibal occupied much of Italy for 15 years, but a Roman counter-invasion of North Africa forced him to return to Carthage, where he was decisively defeated by Scipio Africanus at the Battle of Zama. Scipio had studied Hannibal's tactics and brilliantly devised some of his own, and finally defeated Rome's nemesis at Zama, having previously driven Hasdrubal, Hannibal's brother, out of the Iberian Peninsula.
After the war, Hannibal successfully ran for the office of suffete. He enacted political and financial reforms to enable the payment of the war indemnity imposed by Rome; however, Hannibal's reforms were unpopular with members of the Carthaginian aristocracy and in Rome, and he fled into voluntary exile. During this time, he lived at the Seleucid court, where he acted as military advisor to Antiochus III in his war against Rome. After Antiochus met defeat at the Battle of Magnesia and was forced to accept Rome's terms, Hannibal fled again, making a stop in Armenia. His flight ended in the court of Bithynia, where he achieved an outstanding naval victory against a fleet from Pergamon. He was afterwards betrayed to the Romans and committed suicide by poisoning himself.
Often regarded as one of the greatest military strategists in history, Hannibal would later be considered one of the greatest generals of antiquity, together with Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Scipio, and Pyrrhus of Epirus. Plutarch states that, when questioned by Scipio as to who was the greatest general, Hannibal is said to have replied either Alexander or Pyrrhus, then himself,[6] or, according to another version of the event, Pyrrhus, Scipio, then himself.[7] Military historian Theodore Ayrault Dodge once famously called Hannibal the "father of strategy",[8] because his greatest enemy, Rome, came to adopt elements of his military tactics in its own strategic arsenal. This praise has earned him a strong reputation in the modern world, and he was regarded as a great strategist by men like Napoleon Bonaparte.

He is widely regarded as one of the greatest military commanders in history. Hannibal's father, Hamilcar Barca, was a leading Carthaginian general during the First Punic War.
Hannibal occupied most of southern Italy for 15 years. He was betrayed by the Romans and died by suicide with poison. Hannibal is considered one of the greatest military tacticians and generals of antiquity, alongside Philip of Macedon, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Scipio Africanus, and Pyrrhus.
Hannibal was a common Semitic Phoenician-Carthaginian personal name.
It is a combination of the common Phoenician masculine given name Hanno with the Northwest Semitic Canaanite deity Baal (lit, "lord") a major god of the Carthaginian's ancestral homeland of Phoenicia in Western Asia.
Although he is by far the most famous Hannibal when further clarification is necessary he is usually referred to as "Hannibal, son of Hamilcar", or "Hannibal the Barcid", the latter term applying to the family of his father, Hamilcar Barca.
Hannibal was one of the sons of Hamilcar Barca, a Carthaginian leader, and an unknown mother.
When his father drowned in battle, Hannibal's brother-in-law Hasdrubal the Fair succeeded in his command of the army with Hannibal (then 18 years old) serving as an officer under him.
After he assumed command, Hannibal spent two years consolidating his holdings and completing the conquest of Hispania, south of the Ebro.
In his first campaign, Hannibal attacked and stormed the Olcades' strongest center, Alithia, which promptly led to their surrender, and brought Punic power close to the River Tagus.
Hannibal not only perceived this as a breach of the treaty signed with Hasdrubal, but as he was already planning an attack on Rome, this was his way to start the war.
So he laid siege to the city, which fell after eight months. Hannibal sent the booty from Saguntum to Carthage, a shrewd move that gained him much support from the government; Livy records that only Hanno II the Great spoke against him. In Rome, the Senate reacted to this apparent violation of the treaty by dispatching a delegation to Carthage to demand whether Hannibal had destroyed Saguntum in accordance with orders from Carthage.
Carthaginian general Hannibal crossed the Pyrenees and Rhône in 218 BC. His army included 38,000 infantry, 8,000 cavalry, and 38 elephants, almost none of which would survive the harsh conditions of the Alps. He left a detachment of 20,000 troops to garrison the newly conquered region of Cisalpine Gaul. Hannibal outmaneuvered the natives who had tried to prevent his crossing, then evaded a Roman force marching from the Mediterranean coast. His exact route over the Alps has been the source of scholarly dispute ever since.
The most influential modern theories favor either a march up the valley of the Drôme or a crossing of the main range. Polybius wrote that Hannibal had crossed the highest of the Alpine passes between the upper Guil valley and the upper Po river. Radiocarbon dating secured dates of 2168 BP or c. 218 BC, the year of Hannibal's march. Hannibal's vision of military affairs was derived partly from his Greek tutors and partly from experience gained alongside his father.
From the start, he seems to have calculated that he would have to operate without aid from Hispania. The alpine invasion of Italy was a military operation that would shake the Mediterranean World.

This eventually led to the all-out war that occurred between the two growing regional powers, and it ended with a decisive but hard-earned victory for Rome; and the island of Sicily becoming a province of the victors’, having up until that point belonged to Carthage.

Hannibal
Hannibal Barca (; "ḥnb‘l brq"; 247 – between 183 and 181 BC) was a Carthaginian general, considered one of the greatest military commanders in history. His father Hamilcar Barca was the leading Carthaginian commander during the First Punic War. His younger brothers were Mago and Hasdrubal, and he was brother-in-law to Hasdrubal the Fair.
Hannibal lived during a period of great tension in the western Mediterranean Basin, when the Roman Republic established its supremacy over other great powers such as ancient Carthage, the Etruscans, the Samnites, and the Greek kingdom of Syracuse. One of his most famous achievements was at the outbreak of the Second Punic War, when he marched an army which included war elephants from Iberia over the Pyrenees and the Alps into Italy. In his first few years in Italy, he won dramatic victories at the Trebia, Lake Trasimene, and Cannae. He distinguished himself for his ability to determine his and his opponent's respective strengths and weaknesses, and to plan battles accordingly. Hannibal's well-planned strategies allowed him to conquer many allies of Rome.
Hannibal occupied most of Italy for 15 years but was unable to march on Rome. An enemy counter-invasion of North Africa forced him to return to Carthage, where he was decisively defeated by Scipio Africanus at the Battle of Zama. Scipio had studied Hannibal's tactics and brilliantly devised some of his own, and he finally defeated Rome's nemesis at Zama, having previously driven Hannibal's brother Hasdrubal out of the Iberian Peninsula.
After the war, Hannibal successfully ran for the office of sufet. He enacted political and financial reforms to enable the payment of the war indemnity imposed by Rome; however, those reforms were unpopular with members of the Carthaginian aristocracy and in Rome, and he fled into voluntary exile. During this time, he lived at the Seleucid court, where he a...

The Punic Wars were a monumental series of battles between the Romans and the Carthaginians that took place in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BCE.
The First Punic War, which lasted from 264 BCE to 241 BCE, is considered to be the longest and most severely contested war in history. The Second Punic War began in 218 BCE with the crossing of the Alps by the Carthaginian general Hannibal and his army in order to attack Italy. The Battle of Metaurus was one of the most pivotal battles of that war, taking place in 207 BCE near the Metauro River in Italy.
The First Punic War had been won by the Romans, who subsequently imposed heavy burdens upon the conquered Carthaginians. In order to pay the tribute that the Romans put upon them, the Carthaginians had to tax their Spanish colonies. The greatest Carthaginian general at the time was Hamilcar Barca, and he was sent to Spain to quell the unrest that was created. He took his adult sons Hannibal and Hasdrubal, along with his older son-in-law Hasdrubal the Fair, with him. When Hamilcar was killed at the Battle of Helice in 228 BCE, Hasdrubal the Fair replaced him as commander of the Carthaginian army.
Hasdrubal the Fair managed to keep peaceful relations with the Romans until his assassination in 221 BCE. He was succeeded by Hannibal as the commander of the Carthaginian army. Prior to his death, seven years earlier, Hannibal’s father had made him vow to a hatred of the Romans for life. As a result, the new Carthaginian general rejected the conciliatory attitude of his predecessor. He also stopped the payment of the annual Roman tribute.
Hannibal was looking for an opportunity to take on the Romans, and it came when they installed an anti-Carthaginian army at Saguntum in Spain. He marched his army into the city and took possession of it as a liberator from Roman oppressive rule. In doing so, he struck the first blow of the Second Punic War.

Hannibal (247 – 183 x 181 bc),[n 1] fully Hannibal Barca, was a Punic Carthaginian military commander, generally considered one of the greatest military commanders in history. His father, Hamilcar Barca, was the leading Carthaginian commander during the First Punic War. His younger brothers were Mago and Hasdrubal, and he was brother-in-law to Hasdrubal the Fair.
Hannibal lived during a period of great tension in the Mediterranean, when the Roman Republic established its supremacy over other great powers such as Carthage and the Hellenistic kingdoms of Macedon, Syracuse, and the Seleucid Empire. One of his most famous achievements was at the outbreak of the Second Punic War, when he marched an army, which included elephants, from Iberia over the Pyrenees and the Alps into Italy. In his first few years in Italy, he won three dramatic victories—Trebia, Trasimene, and Cannae, in which he distinguished himself for his ability to determine his and his opponent's strengths and weaknesses, and to play the battle to his strengths and the enemy's weaknesses—and won over many allies of Rome. Hannibal occupied much of Italy for 15 years, but a Roman counter-invasion of North Africa forced him to return to Carthage, where he was decisively defeated by Scipio Africanus at the Battle of Zama. Scipio had studied Hannibal's tactics and brilliantly devised some of his own, and finally defeated Rome's nemesis at Zama, having previously driven Hasdrubal, Hannibal's brother, out of the Iberian Peninsula.
After the war, Hannibal successfully ran for the office of suffete. He enacted political and financial reforms to enable the payment of the war indemnity imposed by Rome; however, Hannibal's reforms were unpopular with members of the Carthaginian aristocracy and in Rome, and he fled into voluntary exile. During this time, he lived at the Seleucid court, where he acted as military advisor to Antiochus III in his war against Rome. After Antiochus met defeat at the Battle of Magnesia and was forced to accept Rome's terms, Hannibal fled again, making a stop in Armenia. His flight ended in the court of Bithynia, where he achieved an outstanding naval victory against a fleet from Pergamon. He was afterwards betrayed to the Romans and committed suicide by poisoning himself.
Often regarded as one of the greatest military strategists in history, Hannibal would later be considered one of the greatest generals of antiquity, together with Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Scipio, and Pyrrhus of Epirus. Plutarch states that, when questioned by Scipio as to who was the greatest general, Hannibal is said to have replied either Alexander or Pyrrhus, then himself,[6] or, according to another version of the event, Pyrrhus, Scipio, then himself.[7] Military historian Theodore Ayrault Dodge once famously called Hannibal the "father of strategy",[8] because his greatest enemy, Rome, came to adopt elements of his military tactics in its own strategic arsenal. This praise has earned him a strong reputation in the modern world, and he was regarded as a great strategist by men like Napoleon Bonaparte.

He is widely regarded as one of the greatest military commanders in history. Hannibal's father, Hamilcar Barca, was a leading Carthaginian general during the First Punic War.
Hannibal occupied most of southern Italy for 15 years. He was betrayed by the Romans and died by suicide with poison. Hannibal is considered one of the greatest military tacticians and generals of antiquity, alongside Philip of Macedon, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Scipio Africanus, and Pyrrhus.
Hannibal was a common Semitic Phoenician-Carthaginian personal name.
It is a combination of the common Phoenician masculine given name Hanno with the Northwest Semitic Canaanite deity Baal (lit, "lord") a major god of the Carthaginian's ancestral homeland of Phoenicia in Western Asia.
Although he is by far the most famous Hannibal when further clarification is necessary he is usually referred to as "Hannibal, son of Hamilcar", or "Hannibal the Barcid", the latter term applying to the family of his father, Hamilcar Barca.
Hannibal was one of the sons of Hamilcar Barca, a Carthaginian leader, and an unknown mother.
When his father drowned in battle, Hannibal's brother-in-law Hasdrubal the Fair succeeded in his command of the army with Hannibal (then 18 years old) serving as an officer under him.
After he assumed command, Hannibal spent two years consolidating his holdings and completing the conquest of Hispania, south of the Ebro.
In his first campaign, Hannibal attacked and stormed the Olcades' strongest center, Alithia, which promptly led to their surrender, and brought Punic power close to the River Tagus.
Hannibal not only perceived this as a breach of the treaty signed with Hasdrubal, but as he was already planning an attack on Rome, this was his way to start the war.
So he laid siege to the city, which fell after eight months. Hannibal sent the booty from Saguntum to Carthage, a shrewd move that gained him much support from the government; Livy records that only Hanno II the Great spoke against him. In Rome, the Senate reacted to this apparent violation of the treaty by dispatching a delegation to Carthage to demand whether Hannibal had destroyed Saguntum in accordance with orders from Carthage.
Carthaginian general Hannibal crossed the Pyrenees and Rhône in 218 BC. His army included 38,000 infantry, 8,000 cavalry, and 38 elephants, almost none of which would survive the harsh conditions of the Alps. He left a detachment of 20,000 troops to garrison the newly conquered region of Cisalpine Gaul. Hannibal outmaneuvered the natives who had tried to prevent his crossing, then evaded a Roman force marching from the Mediterranean coast. His exact route over the Alps has been the source of scholarly dispute ever since.
The most influential modern theories favor either a march up the valley of the Drôme or a crossing of the main range. Polybius wrote that Hannibal had crossed the highest of the Alpine passes between the upper Guil valley and the upper Po river. Radiocarbon dating secured dates of 2168 BP or c. 218 BC, the year of Hannibal's march. Hannibal's vision of military affairs was derived partly from his Greek tutors and partly from experience gained alongside his father.
From the start, he seems to have calculated that he would have to operate without aid from Hispania. The alpine invasion of Italy was a military operation that would shake the Mediterranean World.

Hannibal Barca, son of Hamilcar Barca[n 1] (247--183 or 182 BC)[n 2] was a Carthaginian military commander and tactician who is popularly credited as one of the most talented commanders in history. His father, Hamilcar Barca, was the leading Carthaginian commander during the First Punic War, his younger brothers were Mago and Hasdrubal, and he was brother-in-law to Hasdrubal the Fair.
Hasdrubal the Fair
Hasdrubal the Fair (c. 270 BC – 221 BC) was a Carthaginian military leader and politician, governor in Iberia after Hamilcar Barca's death, and founder of Cartagena.
Life
Livy's History of Rome records he was the brother-in-law of the Carthaginian leader Hannibal and son-in-law of Hamilcar Barca.
Career
Hasdrubal followed Hamilcar in his campaign against the governing aristocracy at Carthage at the close of the First Punic War, and in his subsequent career of conquest in Hispania. In 237 BC, they parted towards the Peninsula, but around 231-230 BC Hasdrubal allegedly interceded in Hamilcar's name making the Numidian tribes from Northern Africa submit to the Barcid family; from there, Numidia fell into Carthage's sphere of influence.
After Hamilcar's death (228 BC, while besieging Heliké, a town in Hispania), Hasdrubal succeeded him in the command, following Carthage's instructions, Hamilcar's sons being too young - Hannibal, the elder, was nineteen. He largely preferred diplomacy to war campaigns. According to the diplomatic customs of the time, Hasdrubal demanded the handing over of hostages to make himself sure of the submission of their places of origin.
