There were three leaders of ancient
Carthage
who were known as
Hanno the Great
, according to two historians (the Picards).
[1]
These figures they call for convenience: Hanno I the Great, Hanno II the Great, and Hanno III the Great.
[2]
According to another historian (Warmington), there were three ancients of Carthage called
Hanno
"given the same nickname", that is
the Great
, but he conjectures that it was a family nickname or a term not well understood by the ancient Greek or Roman writers. Warmington discusses only two of them (I and II), but he does not use the "I" or "II".
[3]
Another historian (Lancel) mentions only one Hanno the Great, namely Hanno "I" the Great. The one already referred to here as "Hanno II the Great" he discusses but calls him simply "Hanno".
[4]
Of course, it is an anomaly for multiple people to be called
Hanno the Great
. In all, there were many historical figures named Hanno in ancient Carthage.
[5]
Hanno I the Great</SPAN>
Hanno the Great was a politician and military leader of the 4th century BC.
His title, according to
Justin
,
[6]
was
princeps Cathaginiensium
. It is considered more likely that the title signifies
first among equals
, rather than being a title of nobility or royalty.
[7]
[8]
His rival Suniatus was called the
potentissimus Poenorum
, or "the most powerful of the Carthaginians", in the year 368. Several years later Suniatus was accused of high treason (for correspondence with Syracuse) and probably executed.
[9]
[10]
In 367 Hanno the Great commanded a fleet of 200 ships which won a decisive naval victory over the Greeks of
Sicily
. His victory effectively blocked the plans of
Dionysius I
of
Syracuse
to attack
Lilybaeum
, a city allied to Carthage in western Sicily.
[11]
For about twenty years Hanno the Great was the leading figure of Carthage, and perhaps the wealthiest. In the 340s he schemed to become the tyrant. After distributing food to the populace, the time for a show of force came and he utilized for that purpose the native slaves and a
Berber
chieftain. Although not a military threat to Carthage, Hanno the Great was captured, found to be a traitor, and tortured to death. Many members of his family were also put to death.
[12]
Yet later his son Gisgo was given the command of seventy ships of Carthage manned by Greek mercenaries and sent to Lilybaeum, after which peace was negotiated by Carthage with
Timoleon
of Syracuse, c. 340. Thereafter, this family's prestige and influence at Carthage would tell in later generations.
[13]
Hanno I the Great was probably an ancestor of Hanno II the Great.
[14]
[15]
Hanno II the Great</SPAN>
Hanno the Great was a wealthy
Carthaginian
aristocrat in the 3rd century BC.
Hanno's wealth was based on the land he owned in
Africa
and the
Iberian Peninsula
, and during the
First Punic War
he led the faction in Carthage that was opposed to continuing the war against
Roman Republic
. He preferred to continue conquering territory in Africa rather than fight a
naval war
against
Rome
that would bring him no personal gain. In these efforts, he was opposed by the Carthaginian general
Hamilcar Barca
. Hanno demobilized the Carthaginian navy in
244 BC
, giving Rome time to rebuild its navy and finally defeat Carthage by
241 BC
.
After the war, Hanno refused to pay the mercenaries who had been promised money and rewards by Hamilcar. The mercenaries revolted, and Hanno took control of the Carthaginian army to attempt to defeat them. His attempt failed and he gave control of the army back to Hamilcar. Eventually, they both cooperated to crush the rebels in
238 BC
.
His nickname "the Great" was apparently earned because of his conquests among the African enemies of Carthage,
[16]
and he continued to oppose war with Rome, which would necessarily involve naval engagements. During the
Second Punic War
, he led the
anti-war
faction in Carthage, and is blamed for preventing reinforcements from being sent to Hamilcar's son
Hannibal
after his victory at the
Battle of Cannae
. After Carthage's defeat at the
Battle of Zama
in
202 BC
, he was among the ambassadors to negotiate peace with the Romans.
Hanno III the Great</SPAN>
The third Hanno the Great was an ultra-conservative politician at Carthage during the 2nd century BC
