...Hasdrubal, who was younger than Hannibal but older than Mago, died valiantly in battle against the Romans as he tried to bring a second invasion army to Italy to support Hannibal.

The Romans cut off his head. Then they marched it to the other end of Italy and catapulted it into Hannibal’s camp. Hannibal, who still did not even know that Hasdrubal had arrived in Italy, last saw his brother’s face …. as it rolled toward him.

Did you mean this bro?

That was the one. A footnote in history, while his brother had a character played by Anthony Hopkins that was his namesake.

All the Barca brothers swore the same oath to their father. To never be “a friend to Rome”.

Never be a friend to Rome = Never surrender.

When you surrendered Rome made you promise to henceforth ‘be a friend to Rome’.
