 It would be difficult to say precisely what a typical make-up of a Carthaginian army would be, but in the Punic wars, they are reported to have included Hispanics (Celtiberians, Iberians and Balearics), Gauls, Ligures, Italic (e.g.Samnites, Lucanians), native Sicilian tribesmen, Numidian cavalry, Libyans and Lybophoenicians (also called Africans), Greeks, and natural Punics from Carthage and its external settlements.The Greek sources referred to the commander of Punic forces as a strategos or boetarch.
