Imilce
Imilce was the Spanish wife of Hannibal Barca according to a number of historical sources.
Livy records that Hannibal married a woman from Castulo, a powerful Spanish city allied with Carthage. The Roman poet Silius Italicus identifies this woman as Imilce. Silius suggests a Greek origin for Imilce, but Gilbert Charles-Picard argued for a Punic heritage based on an etymology from the Semitic root m-l-k. Silius also suggests the existence of a son, who is otherwise not attested by Livy, Polybius, or Appian. According to Silius, during the Punic wars Hannibal tearfully sent Imilce and their son back to Carthage for their safety. Some historians have questioned the historicity of this event and suggested that it is an imitation of Pompey sending his wife away to Lucca for her safety during military conflict.
