The Carthaginians did not have an overall leader in the first Punic War, except for towards the end.

The Carthaginian army was led by Gisco, his son Hannibal Gisco, Hanno Gisco (son of Hannibal Gisco), two commanders both called Hamilcar, Hanno the Great, Hasbrubal the Fair and Buspar Xanthippus (a Greek). Hamilcar Barca became the overall leader in the final year of the war.
