Life
Hasdrubal was a Carthaginian general who followed Hamilcar Barca, his father-in-law, in campaigns after the First Punic War. He helped make the Numidian tribes in North Africa loyal to Carthage and later continued Hamilcar’s conquests in Spain after his death in 228 BC. Unlike Hamilcar, Hasdrubal preferred using diplomacy instead of war, taking hostages to keep peace and making treaties with local tribes. He founded the city of Qart Hadasht (later called Carthago Nova by the Romans) as the center of Carthaginian power in Spain. Hasdrubal also made a treaty with Rome, setting the River Ebro as the border between their lands to avoid early conflict.
