Bomilcar (Punic: 𐤁𐤃𐤌𐤋𐤒𐤓𐤕, BDMLQRT)[1] was a Carthaginian nobleman and commander in the Second Punic War (218–201 BC).
He was a son-in-law of Hamilcar Barca and the father of the Hanno who commanded a portion of Hannibal's army at the passage of the Rhone (218 BC) and at the Battle of Cannae.
This Bomilcar seems to have been one of the Carthaginian suffetes[2] and to have presided in that assembly of the senate in which the Second Punic War was resolved upon.
