EGADI (Island complex) SICILY
Hanno, Commander of the Carthaginian fleet, which was defeated by Lutatius Catulus
off the Aegates, B. C. 241. There are no means of determining whether lie may
not be the same with some one of those already mentioned; but it is certainly
a mistake to confound him with Hanno
the Great, which has been done by several authors. The particulars of the
action off the Aegates are so fully given under the article Catulus, that it is
unnecessary to repeat them here. Accordining to Zonaras (viii. 17), Hanno himself,
with those ships which escaped destruction, hed directly to Carthage, where he
met with the same fate that so often awaited their unsuccessful generals at the
hands of the Carthaginians, and was crucified by order of the senate.
