Years: 409BCE - 409BCE
Hannibal next besieges Himera, where his grandfather had met his death.
The Carthaginian forces enter the city-state in 409, plunder it, and permanently destroy it before departing.
In the process of this conquest Hannibal is said to have killed some three thousand prisoners of war, reportedly as revenge for the defeat his grandfather suffered in the Battle of Himera seventy years before.
