Hasdrubal ? - 207 BC
There were several Hasdrubals in history. This Hasdrubal was a Carthaginian general.
Hasdrubal's father was
Hamilcar Barca. Hasdrubal was Hamilcar's second son.
Hasdrubal's brother was famous
Hannibal.
In 218 BC, Hannibal took off to conquer
Italy, or so he thought, and left Hasdrubal as
commander-in-chief in Spain. Eleven years later, Hasdrubal and his
army followed Hannibal and crossed the Alps to provide military aid
to his brother.
Having finally arrived in Italy,
Hasdrubal died in the
Battle of the Metaurus.
