Bomilcar (Suffete)
Bomilcar (3rd century BC) was a Carthaginian nobleman and commander in the Second Punic War.
He was the father of the Hanno who commanded a portion of Hannibal's army at the passage of the Rhone, 218 BC. This Bomilcar seems to have been one of the Carthaginian Suffetes [1] and to have presided in that assembly of the senate in which the second Punic war was resolved on.[2]
