Sophonisba

Carthaginian noblewoman
Years: 221BCE - 203BCE

Sophonisba (fl.

203 BCE) is a Carthaginian noblewoman who lives during the Second Punic War, and the daughter of Hasdrubal Gisco Gisgonis (son of Gisco).

In an act that becomes legendary, Sophonisba poisons herself rather than be humiliated in a Roman triumph.
