Adherbal (governor)
__NOTOC__ Adherbal ( xpu, 𐤀𐤃𐤓𐤁𐤏𐤋, ) was a Carthaginian noble who served as the governor of Gadir (Cadiz) during the Second Punic War. He was also a Carthaginian military commander in this war under the command of Mago Barca. He was one of the lesser generals of the Punic War and was often trying to prove his worth. He is perhaps best known for his defeat in the naval Battle of Carteia in 206BC while attempting to leave Carthaginian Spain with valuable prisoners. His fleet was defeated near the ancient city of Carteia by G. Laelius. See also * Other Adherbals in Carthaginian history * Baal Baal (), or Baal,; phn, , baʿl; hbo, , baʿal, ).

Adherbal (king Of Numidia)
__NOTOC__ Adherbal ( xpu, 𐤀𐤃𐤓𐤁𐤏𐤋, ), son of Micipsa and grandson of Masinissa, was a king of Numidia between 118 and 112 BC. He inherited the throne after the death of his father, and ruled jointly with his younger brother Hiempsal, and Jugurtha, the nephew of Masinissa. After the murder of his brother by Jugurtha, Adherbal fled to Rome and was restored to his share of the kingdom by the Romans in 117 BC, with Jugurtha ruling his brother's former share.
