A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology

(Ἄννων.) This name seems to have been still more common at Carthage than those of Hamilcar and Hannibal; hence it is even more difficult to distinguish or identify, with any reasonable probability, the numerous persons that bore it. In the enumeration of them here given, it has been judged the safest plan to consider all those as distinct whom there are no sufficient grounds for identifying; though it is probable that several of them might prove to be the same person, if our information were more complete. But as we repeatedly meet with two or more Hannos in the same army, or engaged in the same enterprise, it is evident that no presumption arises of identity from the mere circumstance of their being contemporaries.
