Magonids
The Magonids were a political dynasty of Ancient Carthage from 550 BCE to 340 BCE. The dynasty was first established under Mago I, under whom Carthage became preeminent among the Phoenician colonies in the western Mediterranean. Under the Magonids, the Carthaginian Empire expanded to include Sardinia, Libya, and for almost a decade much of Sicily.
==Nature of Magonid rule==
Leading experts on Carthage have been skeptical as to whether it is even possible to reconstruct the internal history of Carthage〔e.g. C G Picard 1983, p279〕 and this needs to be borne in mind in relation to the Magonids. Mago and his successors probably ruled less as kings but rather more like tyrants or political strongmen. Diodorus, however, describes them as kings according to laws which implies a legal procedure not a naked seizure of power and Herodotus tells us that Hamilcar I was "king by valor" implying selection not hereditary succession.〔Carthage, a history, Serge Lancel, p113〕
In 480 BCE, following Hamilcar I's death, the King lost most of his power to an aristocratic Council of Elders. In 308 BCE, Hannonian Bomilcar attempted a ''coup d'état'' to restore the monarch to full power, but failed, which led to Carthage becoming in name as well as in fact a republic.〔(Carthage, from roman-empire.net )〕〔Lewis, D.
