	Hasdrubal
		One of their sisters was married to another Hasdrubal (surnamed 'the Fair'), the leader of the popular party in Carthage, and Hamilcar's successor after his death in 229.
		Hasdrubal arrived too late to defend the city, was repulsed, and went back to New Carthage, the Carthaginian capital in Iberia.
		Hasdrubal's brother Mago commanded a second army, and a nobleman named Hasdrubal, son of Gesco, commanded a third force.

	Hasdrubal the Fair
		Hasdrubal (221): Carthaginian commander, son-in-law of Hamilcar Barca, and the man who consolidated the newly conquered provinces in Iberia.
		The authorities agreed, and in 228, Hasdrubal arrived in Iberia.
		The river Ebro was to be the northern limit of the Carthaginian conquests; Hasdrubal could keep the three Massilian cities; but he was not to go further to the north, where other Massilian colonies were to remain independent.

	Scipio Africanus
		Hannibal's brothers Hasdrubal and Mago, and Hasdrubal Gisco were the generals of the Carthaginian forces in Hispania, and Rome was aided by the inability of these three figures to act in concert.
		Hasdrubal had not noticed Scipio's hidden reserves of cavalry moving behind enemy lines, and a Roman cavalry charge created a double envelopment on either flank led by cavalry commander Gaius Laelius and Scipio himself.
		Hannibal's brother Hasdrubal had meanwhile marched for Italy, and in 206 BC Scipio himself, having secured the Roman occupation of Hispania by the capture of Gades, gave up his command and returned to Rome.

	Hasdrubal - LoveToKnow 1911
		HASDRUBAL, the name of several Carthaginian generals, among whom the following are the most important: I. The son-in-law of Hamilcar Barca, who followed the latter in his campaign against the governing aristocracy at Carthage at the close of the First Punic War, and in his subsequent career of conquest in Spain.
		After Hamilcar's death (228) Hasdrubal, who succeeded him in the command, extended the newly acquired empire by skilful diplomacy, and consolidated it by the foundation of New Carthage (Cartagena) as the capital of the new province, and by a treaty with Rome which fixed the Ebro as the boundary between the two powers.
		Hasdrubal himself fell in the fight; his head was cut off and thrown into Hannibal's camp as a sign of his utter defeat.

		Hasdrubal, alarmed at this increasing disaffection, determined to bring matters to the issue of a decisive battle, with the view of afterwards putting in execution his long-meditated advance to Italy.
		Here he held a consultation with the other two generals (his brother Mago and Hasdrubal the son of Gisco), at which it was agreed that he himself should proceed to Italy, leaving his two colleagues to make head against Scipio in Spain.
		It is admitted by his enemies that on this occasion Hasdrubal displayed all the qualities of a consummate general, but his forces were greatly inferior to those of the enemy, and his Gaulish auxiliaries were of little service.

	Poke's Fifteen Decisive Battles
		Hasdrubal was sprung from the same father ; trained up in the same hostility to Rome; equally practised in battle against their legions; and, if the comparative speed and success with which he had crossed the Alps was a fair test, he was even a better general than his brother.
		Hasdrubal, from his Spanish campaigns, was well acquainted with all the sounds and signals of Roman war, and from all that he heard and saw, he felt convinced that both the Roman consuls were before him.
		Hasdrubal's elephants were ten in number, We have no trustworthy information as to the amount of his infantry, but it is quite clear that he was greatly outnumbered by the combined Roman forces.

		But when the news of the battle of Cannae reached Carthage, orders were immediately sent to Hasdrubal to march at once into Italy, in order.to support and co-operate with the victorious Hannibal, and Himilco was sent with a fresh army to supply his place in Spain.
		But the execution of this plan was frustrated by the total defeat of Hasdrubal in a battle with the two Scipios near the passage of the Iberus; and this disaster was followed by $te defection of many of the native tribes.
		In the year 215 we find Hasdrubal and Mago employed with their united forces in the siege of Illiturgi, when the two Scipios came up to the relief of the city, totally defeated them, and took their camp.

	Hasdrubal Barca
		Hasdrubal was the son of Hamilcar and brother of Hannibal.

		Due to the failure of Hasdrubal, Hannibal did not get the aid he needed, and his forces grew gradually weaker, while the Roman forces grew stronger day by day.

		Despite Hasdrubal's exhortations, the Carthaginian fleet arrived in battle in poor posture, worse still because of its disorder relative to the enemy.

		Further, in view of the anxiety caused by news of Hasdrubal's plans, it seems unlikely that there was an intercalation at the end of the previous year, since this would have delayed the entry of new consuls into offce.
		Livy 27.49 describes the death of Hasdrubal, Hannibal's brother, in the battle of the Metaurus, when he deliberately sought death in battle after seeing that his army was being annihilated.
		For this reason, it has been suggested instead that Ovid is actually referring to the death of Hasdrubal son of Gisgo, who did commit suicide by poison, in A.U.C. But the circumstances of the death of Hasdrubal son of Gisgo did not directly involve Roman action, nor were they exactly glorious.

		This way Hasdrubal would know he faced both consuls, not one, and would assume that Hannibal must have been beaten for such an event to be possible.
		As the Punic forces formed up to meet the challenge, Hasdrubal noticed that the enemy's numbers had seemed to increase, and that many had dull and stained armor, and were unshaven.
		The Metaurus was in flood, probably from spring rains and snow melt, and Hasdrubal was trapped on the south shore, unable to ford the river.

		At the time of Hasdrubal's departure Spain was divided between Rome and Carthage as follows: Hasdrubal Gisgo had retreated to the ocean littoral near Gades, the Mediterranean coast-line and almost the whole of Eastern Spain was held by Scipio on behalf of Rome.
		Hasdrubal openly avowed that "he admired Scipio more now that he had made his personal acquaintance than after his military successes, and he had no doubt that Syphax and his kingdom were already at the disposal of Rome, such skill did the Roman possess in winning men.
