Two legions commanded by Appius Claudius Caudex disembarked at Messana, where the Mamertines had expelled the Carthaginian garrison commanded by Hanno ( no relation to Hanno the Great ).

Nevertheless the Carthaginian faction that opposed the conflict, led by the land-owning aristocrat Hanno the Great, gained power and in 244 BC, and considering the war to be over, started the demobilization of the fleet, giving the Romans a chance to again attain naval superiority.

Hanno the Great tried to induce the disbanded armies to accept diminished payment, but kindled a movement that led to an internal conflict, the Mercenary War.

After a hard struggle from the combined efforts of Hamilcar Barca, Hanno the Great and others, the Punic forces were finally able to annihilate the mercenaries and the insurgents.

* 244 BC: With little to no naval engagements, Hanno the Great of Carthage advocates demobilization of large parts of the Carthaginian navy to save money.

Two political factions operated in Carthage: the war party, also known as the " Barcids " ( Hannibal ’ s family name ) and the peace party led by Hanno II the Great.

After Carthage emerged victorious from the Mercenary War there were two opposing factions: the reformist party was led by Hamilcar Barca while the other, more conservative, faction was represented by Hanno the Great and the old Carthaginian aristocracy.

On arrival in Carthaginian territory, the mercenaries submit a demand to Hanno the Great for payment of their contracts.

* Carthaginian reinforcements led by Hanno the Great join the battle.

Hanno “ The Great ” was in charge of operations in Africa since 248 BC and had conquered considerable territory by 241 BC.

Hamilcar next invited Hanno to join forces, but cooperation between them was ineffective and the Peoples assembly voted to give Hamilcar sole command By the power of his personal influence among the mercenaries and the surrounding African peoples, superior strategy and some luck, Hamilcar, and also cooperation, if unenthusiastic, from Hanno the Great, Hamilcar crushed the revolt by ( 237 BC ) amid a war marked with cruelty atrocities from both sides.

Hanno the Great was aligned with them and they espoused peaceful relations with Rome, even at the cost of abandoning overseas territories.

Their chose to minimize the Sicilian operations while Hamilcar was in command, reduce the navy and support Hanno the Great ’ s conquests in Africa, all of which were causes for the ultimate defeat of Carthage in the First Punic War.

* Hamilcar, son of Gisgo and grandson to Hanno the Great, led a campaign against Agathocles of Syracuse between 311 BC and 307 BC in the Third Sicilian War, before his capture and execution.

In response, Hanno the Great, leading opponent of the Barcids, placed several questions to Mago, which took most of the gloss off Mago's presentation.

:* Hanno I the Great ( 4th century BC ), Carthaginian admiral

:* Hanno II the Great ( 3rd century BC ), wealthy Carthaginian aristocrat

:* Hanno III the Great ( 2nd century BC ), ultra-conservative Carthaginian politician

There were three leaders of ancient Carthage who were known as Hanno the Great, according to two historians ( the Picards ).

Hanno was said to be white in colour, and arrived by ship from Lisbon to Rome in 1514, aged about four years, and was kept initially in an enclosure in the Belvedere courtyard, then moved to a specially constructed building between St. Peter's Basilica and the Apostolic Palace, near the Borgo Sant ' Angelo ( a road in the rione of Borgo ).

Carthage initially organized an army consisting of mercenaries and citizens to which Hanno was given command.

The garrison of Agrigentum managed to call for reinforcements and the Carthaginian relief force commanded by Hanno came to the rescue and destroyed the Roman supply base at Erbessus.

Carthage sent a relief force from Africa, commanded by Hanno, whom historians believe was the son of Hannibal.

In 367 Hanno the Great commanded a fleet of 200 ships which won a decisive naval victory over the Greeks of Sicily.

But the Carthaginians were not going to let this threat pass unchallenged and launched an equally large fleet to intercept the Romans, commanded by Hanno the Great and Hamilcar the later victor of Drepanum ( not to be confused with Hamilcar Barca ).

The right flank commanded by the Hanno defeated in Agrigentum was slightly advanced.

A noteworthy example is the use of two prayers in Punic in Poenulus, spoken by the Carthaginian elder Hanno, which are significant to Semitic linguistics because they preserve the Carthaginian pronunciation of the vowels.

Hasdrubal Gisco is the son of the Gesco who had served together with Hamilcar Barca, Hannibal's father, in Sicily during the First Punic War and son-in-law of Hanno the Elder who was one of Hannibal's lieutenants in Italy.

Hiero at once joined the Punic leader Hanno, who had recently landed in Sicily ; but fighting a battle to an inconclusive outcome with the Romans led by the consul Appius Claudius Caudex, he withdrew to Syracuse.

Consul again 212 BC, fighting the Second Punic War, he won a victory over Hanno the Elder, capturing his camp at Beneventum, then he was defeated by Hannibal at the first Battle of Capua, then captured Capua in 211 BC while serving as proconsul.

The play is noteworthy for containing text in Carthaginian Punic, spoken by the character Hanno in the fifth act.

Another ancient chief text cited by Avienus is the Periplus of Himilco, the description of a Punic expedition through the coasts of western Europe which took place at the same time of the circummnavigation of Africa by Hanno ( c. 500 BC ).

Gisgo, son of Hanno I the Great, was a notable general of the Sicilian campaigns of the First Punic War.

This convinced the Carthaginian commander Hanno, the nephew of Hannibal, to accept pitched battle before his troops had been united with the army under Hasdrubal, the brother of Hannibal, despite being outnumbered 2 to 1.

Mago moved with his army to the area between Tagus and Douro rivers in a recruiting mission with Hanno, a newly arrived general.

There are varying accounts as to the details of Hanno ’ s army.

Zonaras wrote that Hanno deployed his army to battle but the Romans declined to fight because of the previous defeat of their cavalry.

The mercenaries revolted, and Hanno took control of the Carthaginian army to attempt to defeat them.

The expedition led by Gnaeus Scipio in 218 BC had caught the Carthaginians by surprise, and before Hasdrubal could join Hanno, the Carthaginian commander on the North of Ebro River, the Romans had fought and won the Battle of Cissa and established their army at Tarraco and their fleet at Emporiae.

As the war progressed, Hamilcar Barca was first given joint command with Hanno, and finally full command of Carthage's army.

Sending one-third of his army north along the right bank under Hanno, Hannibal instructed them to coordinate an attack on the Gauls with his own river crossing.
