His name was Hannibal Barca, not Hannibal Carthage. He was appointed commander-in-chief of the Carthaginian armies in Spain. He was also effectively, though not officially, the strategos (military governor) of the Carthaginian territories in southern Spain, which belonged to his family because they were conquered by his father Hamilcar Barca on his own initiative and without the consent of the Carthaginian government.
