Hasdrubal the Boetharch

Hasdrubal the Boetharch (Punic: 𐤏𐤆𐤓‬𐤁‬𐤏𐤋‬,^[1] ʿAzrubaʿal) was a Carthaginian general during the Third Punic War. Little is known about him. "Boetharch" was a Carthaginian office, the exact function of which is unclear. It may derive from the Ancient Greek term "βοηθός (boēthós)" or "auxiliary," suggesting a leadership role among Carthage's mercenary armies.^[2] It is not to be confused with the Greek title boeotarch—a leader of the Boeotian Confederacy.
