Hasdrubal Barca

Hasdrubal Barca was a Carthaginian general and the younger brother of Hannibal who commanded Carthaginian forces in Spain during the Second Punic War after Hannibal's departure. He successfully held Spain against Roman offensives for years, but in 208 BCE he decided to march to Italy to reinforce Hannibal. He crossed the Alps as his brother had done, but was intercepted by combined Roman armies under Livius and Nero at the Battle of the Metaurus in 207 BCE, where he was defeated and killed — Hannibal supposedly learning of his brother's death when Roman soldiers threw Hasdrubal's severed head into his camp.
