Adherbal (governor)

Adherbal was a Carthaginian noble who served as the governor of Gadir (Cadiz) during the Second Punic War. He was also a Carthaginian military commander in this war under the command of Mago Barca. He is perhaps best known for his defeat at the Battle of Carteia which was a naval battle that occurred in 206 as Adherbal was attempting to flee Carthaginian Spain. His fleet was defeated near the ancient city of Carteia by G. Laelius.
