Hanno The Navigator
Hanno the Navigator (sometimes "Hannon"; xpu, đ€đ€đ€ , ; ) was a Carthaginian explorer of the fifth century BC, best known for his naval exploration of the western coast of Africa. The only source of his voyage is a ''periplus'' translated into Greek. He has sometimes been identified as a king.

Some called him king, and others used the Latin words ''dux'' (leader or general) or '' imperator'' (commander or emperor)..

Poenulus
''Poenulus'', also called ''The Little Carthaginian'' or ''The Little Punic Man'', is a Latin comedic play for the early Roman theatre by Titus Maccius Plautus, probably written between 195 and 189 BC. The play is noteworthy for containing text in Carthaginian Punic, spoken by the character Hanno in the fifth act. Another remarkable feature is the sympathetic portrayal of the character of the Carthaginian Hanno at a time when only a few years previously the Romans had suffered huge losses in the 2nd Punic War fought against the Carthaginian general Hannibal (218â202 BC). The play shows signs of having been reworked, possibly for a second production, since there are two endings. Plot Agorastocles is in love with a girl named Adelphasium, who is a slave belonging to the pimp Lycus. Agorastocles, Adelphasium, and her sister Anterastilis were stolen as children from Carthage. Agorastocles was purchased as an adopted son, whereas the girls were sold as slaves to become prostitutes. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
