Hamilcar (Drepanum)

Carthaginian general

300 BCE to 235 BCE

Hamilcar is a general who succeeds to the command of the Carthaginians in the First Punic War, and after successes at Therma and the Battle of Drepanum is defeated at Ecnomus (256 BCE).

Subsequently, apart from unskillful operations against Marcus Atilius Regulus, nothing certain is known of him.

He is sometimes confused with the better known Hamilcar Barca, father of Hannibal.
