Hamilcar Rhodanus, a Carthaginian Spy in Alexander’s Army? A Historiographical Perspective
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyse the figure of Hamilcar Rhodanus, a Carthaginian spy in the army of Alexander the Great. In order to achieve this, the sources that report on this alleged episode of history must be reviewed: Frontinus, Justin and Orosius. The historiographical analysis put forth in this article allows to consider that, if there was a Carthaginian spy in Alexander’s ranks, any credibility of the event has been lost in the course of history.
