Xanthippus of Carthage Xanthippus ( Gr . ) was a Greek ( possibly Spartan ) mercenary general hired by the Carthaginian s to aid in their war against the Romans during the First Punic War . He trained Carthaginian soldiers and led them into the battle of Tunis , where Carthaginian forces routed the Roman expeditionary force and captured the Roman consul Marcus Atilius Regulus in 255 BC . Xanthippus is credited with the Carthaginian formation , cavalry split between the two wings , mercenary infantry on their right , with a hastily raised phalanx of civilians in the centre and a line of elephants in front of the infantry , which defeated the Romans formed in their normal formation , with the outnumbered cavalry on the wings and legionary infantry in the centre . He also realised the mistakes the Carthaginians were making by avoiding open ground ( because of the Romans ' superior infantry ) which restricted the Carthaginian cavalry and elephants ( the strongest parts of their armies ) . Diodorus gives an account of Xanthippus ' death . After the battle of Tunis , Xanthippus stopped in the city of Lilybaeum which was besieged by the Romans . He inspired courage and led an attack defeating the Romans . Jealous of Xanthippus ' success , the city betrayed him by giving him a leaky ship and he supposedly sank in the Adriatic Sea on his voyage home . For Lazenby this story is completely implausible . There is a report of a Xanthippus being made governor of a newly acquired province by Ptolemy Euergetes of Egypt in 245 BC .
