Hasdrubal Gisco, after suffering defeat at Ilipa …

Years: 205BCE - 205BCE
April

Hasdrubal Gisco, after suffering defeat at Ilipa in 206 BCE, had returned to Africa and Mago had retreated to Gades (modern Cádiz) with the remnants of his army.

His deputy, another Hanno, is defeated by L. Marcius, and Mago is unable to take advantage of the rebellion of Hispanic tribes under Indibilis or the mutiny of the Roman troops in 205 BCE.

He leads a raid on Carthago Novo, believing the city to be lightly held, and suffers severe losses.

Upon returning, he finds the gates of Gades barred, and sails away to the Balearic Islands after crucifying the city magistrates for treason.
