Hannibal

n. (247-183 B.C.) general from the city of Carthage who crossed the Alps in 218 B.C. and conquered Italy, son of Hamilcar Barca; city and port in east Missouri (USA) where Mark Twain spent his childhood

Hannibal, son of Hamilcar Barca, (247 BC – ca.  183 BC, short form Hannibal) was a Carthaginian military commander and tactician, later also working in other professions, who is popularly credited as one of the finest commanders in history. He lived during a period of tension in the Mediterranean, when Rome (then the Roman Republic) established its supremacy over other great powers such as Carthage, Macedon, Syracuse, and the Seleucid empire. He is one of the best-known Carthaginian commanders. His most famous achievement was at the outbreak of the Second Punic War, when he marched an army, which included war elephants, from Iberia over the Pyrenees and the Alps into northern Italy.
