  Hanno - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Hanno, Carthaginian navigator, who probably flourished about Soo B.C. It has been conjectured that he was the son of the Hamilcar who was killed at Himera (480), but there is nothing to prove this.
Hanno (3rd century B.C.), called "the Great," Carthaginian statesman and general, leader of the aristocratic party and the chief opponent of Hamilcar and Hannibal.
Hanno subsequently remained at Carthage, exerting all his influence against the democratic party, which, however, had now definitely won the upper hand.

 The Voyage of Hanno
Hanno’s enterprise was so momentous that when the Romans in 146 B.C. razed the capital of the Carthaginians to the ground with such thoroughness that excavators today have difficulty in even tracing its outline, they must have felt that this achievement of their enemies could not be ignored.
Hanno could hardly have been more specific and effective in the description of what he saw, but it is the universal agreement among scholars that it is impossible that he may have seen Mount Cameroon: the ancients were too primitive to be able to navigate as far as the Gulf of Guinea.
Hanno, because of the volcanic eruption, fled up the lagoon of Fernando Vaz (1°38’ S), which is navigable for many miles inland, up to the vicinity of Lambaréné, where the river spreads into a great lake in which there are numerous small islands.

 ELECTRONIC ANTIQUITY V5N1
L. (85) holds that Hanno was the one wanting Numidian expansion, in contrast to Hamilcar, but at the same time that the two leaders were not opponents till long afterwards (84, 137, 160-61, 205), another uncomfortable combination of notions.
L., 135-37, infers that Hanno had led his troops back to Carthage and that Hamilcar then formed his own army from some of them: this on the ground that Polybius’ description of the two forces is almost identical and no trace can be found of Hanno’s after this.
Hanno may have disagreed with Hamilcar’s harsh treatment of captured rebels or with his strategy of campaigning inland, on both of which issues he would arguably have been in the right for once.

Scipios finest hour at Zama was slightly disappointing however, far from a tactical masterclass by either great general, it resorted to a slogging match which Rome was bound to win, also it seems Hannibal was far past his best and exhausted after 17 years of campaigning unsuprisingly.
The remnants of the Roman forces fled to north of the Ebro which was still in Roman hands although barely, dissension between the Carthaginian commanders is probably the reason why the Carthaginians couldnt launch an unified offensive to expel the Romans once and for all.
