Hanno (son of Hannibal)

Hanno (Punic: 𐤇‬𐤍‬𐤀‬ Ḥɴʾ),[1] whose full name was in Phoenician 𐤇𐤍𐤀 𐤁𐤍 𐤇𐤍𐤁𐤏𐤋 Hna Ben Hanibal) or Hanno son of Hannibal, was, according to Diodorus Siculus, a Carthaginian general during the First Punic War (264 to 241 BC).

[3] Before the battle, Hannibal Gisco was in the city of Agrigentum, besieged by the Romans, and Hanno was sent to provide relief.

Hanno concentrated his troops at Heraclea Minoa and captured the Roman supply base at Herbesos.

The Romans pursued the Numidians as they retreated and were brought to the main Carthaginian column where they suffered many losses.

[5] According to Polybius, the siege lasted several months before the Romans defeated the Carthaginians and forced Hanno to retreat.
