| Hamilcar Barca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (526 words) |
 | In 244 he transferred his army to a similar position on the slopes of Mt. Eryx (Monte San Giuliano), from which he was able to lend support to the besieged garrison in the neighbouring town of Drepanum (Trapani). |
| By a provision of the peace of 241 Hamilcar's unbeaten force was allowed to depart from Sicily without any token of submission. |
| Hamilcar stood out far above the Carthaginians of his age in military and diplomatic skill and in strength of patriotism; in these qualities he was surpassed only by his son Hannibal, whom he had imbued with his own deep hatred of Rome and trained to be his successor in the conflict. |
