HAMILCAR
3. One of the commanders of the great Carthaginian army, which was defeated by Timoleon at the passage of the Crimissus, B. C. 339. (
Plut. Tim. 25.)
The fate of the generals in that action (for the particulars of which see TIMOLEON) is not mentioned; but it seems probable, from the terms in which Plutarch shortly after speaks of the appointment of Gisco to the command (
Ibid. 30), that they both perished.
