Hannibal's Brothers: Hasdrubal and Mago in the Second Punic War

Listen for free

View show details

Hannibal Barca is legendary, but his brothers Hasdrubal and Mago were crucial to Carthage's war effort. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the roles of Hannibal's siblings—Hasdrubal commanding in Spain and Mago leading reinforcements and later launching campaigns in Italy and the Balearic Islands. They discuss Hasdrubal's defeat and death at the Metaurus River in 207 BCE, Mago's efforts to stir revolt among the Ligurians and Gauls, and how the Roman strategy of divide and conquer ultimately prevented the Barca brothers from uniting their forces. Drawing on Polybius and Livy, the episode reveals how Hannibal's brothers were capable commanders in their own right, yet faced impossible odds against Rome's superior resources and coordination. #HannibalBarca #HasdrubalBarca #MagoBarca #SecondPunicWar #MetaurusRiver #BattleOfMetaurus #Carthage #AncientRome #Polybius #Livy #BalearicSlingers #Liguria #Gaul #Iberia #CarthaginianArmy #PunicWars #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
