In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the overlooked story of Hanno, the third Barcid brother who fought alongside Hannibal in the Second Punic War. While Hasdrubal and Mago are well-known, Hanno is a shadowy figure who appears in ancient sources mainly in Sicily. We examine the fragmentary evidence from Livy and Polybius, the Battle of the Himera River in 212 BCE, and Hanno's role in the siege of Syracuse. We also discuss why Carthage's leadership failed to support him, leading to his defeat and capture. This episode sheds light on a forgotten commander who might have changed the war's outcome. #HannibalBarca #HannoBarca #SecondPunicWar #Carthage #Sicily #Syracuse #Livy #Polybius #HimeraRiver #BattleOfHimera212BC #BarcidDynasty #RomanHistory #PunicWars #AncientWarfare #History #FexingoHistory #ForgottenCommanders #NorthAfrica Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
