Hannibal has always been the most famous member of the Barcid
dynasty, which dominated Cathage and its empire in Africa and Spain
in the latter half of the third century BC. However, Dexter Hoyos'
revealing study makes it clear that Carthaginian success was
founded on the military and political skills of more than one
member of this remarkable family.
It was Hannibal's father, Hamilcar Barca, who relaunched Carthage
as an imperial power after disastrous wars; Hamilcar's son-in-law
Hasdrubal further developed the new "imperium "in the face of Roman
suspicion and opportunism. Only then was Carthage's historical
zenith reached by Hannibal and his two remarkable brothers in the
war with Rome from 218-201 BC.
