	Biographies: Hannibal Barca :: 0 A.D. :: Wildfire Games
		Following the fall of Saguntum Hannibal appointed one of his full brothers, named Hasdrubal (not to be confused with Hasdrubal the Fair) as Commander-in-Chief in Iberia and with that, he crossed the Ebro in May 218 with 75,000 foot soldiers, 9,000 cavalry, and 37 Elephants.
		In 229 B.C. Hamilcar died in battle with the Iberians, he chose his son-in-law, Hasdrubal the Fair as his successor.
		Hasdrubal for the most part worked hard on consolidation of Carthaginian possessions through diplomatic means, going as far as making deals with the Romans, something Hannibal did not approve of.

	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.

	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's brother Mago commanded a second army, and a nobleman named Hasdrubal, son of Gesco, commanded a third force.

		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 had been anxious to bring Livius and Porcius to battle, though he had not judged it expedient to attack them in their lines.
		But at last Nero, who found that Hasdrubal refused his left wing, and who could not overcome the difficulties of the ground in the quarter assigned to him, decided the battle by another stroke of that military genius which had inspired his march.

	Hannibal - a biography
		When Hamilcar died (229), Hannibal's son-in-law Hasdrubal the Fair took over command.
		While these negotiations were still going on, Hannibal continued to extent Carthage's territory: he appointed his brother Hasdrubal (not to be confused with Hannibal's brother-in-law) as commander in Iberia, and in May 218 he crossed the river Ebro in order to complete the conquest of the Iberian peninsula.
		Hannibal's convex, crescent shaped lines slowly became concave under pressure of the Roman elite troops in the center, which, being encircled and finally surrounded by the Carthaginian cavalry in the rear, failed to break through the Carthaginian lines and were destroyed (picture).
