Hannibal (248–183 or 182 BC) was a Carthaginian military commander, widely considered one of history's greatest tacticians. His father Hamilcar Barca led Carthage during the First Punic War, and his brothers Mago and Hasdrubal also became major military figures. He was also brother-in-law to Hasdrubal the Fair.
His name—meaning something like "grace of Baal" in Punic—reflects the religious context of his family and time, though it's one of those ancient details most people skip over anyway.
