	Hamilcar Barca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hamilcar Barca (about 270 - 228 BC), or Barcas (Canaanite baraq "lightning"), was a Carthaginian general and statesman, father of Hannibal.
		Hamilcar stood out far above the Carthaginians of his age in military and diplomatic skill and in strength of patriotism; in these qualities he was surpassed only by his son Hannibal, whom he had imbued with his own deep hatred of Rome and trained to be his successor in the conflict.
		This Hamilcar has been confused with another general who succeeded to the command of the Carthaginians in the First Punic War, and after successes at Therma and Drepanum was defeated at Ecnomus (256 BC).

		Hamilcar went on his way alone on foot and without an escort, for the meetings of the Ancients were, under extraordinary circumstances, always secret, and were resorted to mysteriously.
		Hamilcar had ceased speaking, and was panting with eye fixed, his face as pale as the pearls of his tiara, almost frightened at himself, and his spirit lost in funereal visions.
		Hamilcar stood smiling with folded arms, and was less delighted by the sight of his riches than by the consciousness of their possession.

		At times Hamilcar got himself into serious military trouble: in his ﬁrst campaign in the hinterland, pursued by Spendius and the Gallic warlord Autaritus, he was ﬁnally manoeuvred into a virtual box — as Polybius makes clear — and saved only by the defection of the Numidian prince Naravas with his cavalrymen (L., 152-56).
		Hamilcar’s election, whether or not conﬁrmed by the citizens, thus set a momentous precedent and can even be seen as a sort of military-political coup.
		Hamilcar is seen — less plausibly — as initiating the feud in 237 by engineering Hanno’s removal from his latest command (207-8).

		Terillos prevailed upon Hamilcar, partly as his sworn friend, but more through the zealous aid of Anaxilaos the son of Cretines, king of Rhegium; who, by giving his own sons to Hamilcar as hostages, induced him to make the expedition.
		Here, as he poured libations upon the sacrifices, he saw the rout of his army; whereupon he cast himself headlong into the flames, and so was consumed and disappeared.
		But whether Hamilcar's disappearance happened, as the Phoenicians tell us, in this way, or, as the Syracusans maintain, in some other, certain it is that the Carthaginians offer him sacrifice, and in all their colonies have monuments erected to his honor, as well as one, which is the grandest of all, at Carthage.
