Adherbal (admiral)

Adherbal (Greek Ατάρβας; died 230 BC) was the admiral of the Carthaginian fleet which battled the Romans for domination of the Mediterranean Sea during the First Punic War (264–41). He led the Carthaginian fleet to Drepana in Sicily, and completely defeated the Roman consul Publius Claudius Pulcher in the Battle of Drepana in 249.[1][2]
