Hannibal (Mercenary War)

Hannibal (, ; died 238 BCE) was a Carthaginian general who took part in the Mercenary War between Carthage and rebelling mercenaries.

During this war, he replaced Hanno II the Great as a commander of the Carthaginian army. He took part in a successful campaign against some rebel cities, along with Hamilcar Barca. During the Siege of Tunis, he was captured during a night raid and crucified, along with some other high-ranking Carthaginians. French author Gustave Flaubert conflates his character with that of Hanno in his historical novel Salammbô.
