Mago III also known as Himilico Mago and sometimes known as Mago III of Carthage was a Carthaginian commander in 375-344 BC, referred to by a number of authors as the King of Carthage. Mago III after the death of his father Mago II of Carthage in the Battle of Cabala made several reforms in the army. Due to these reforms he inflicted a crushing defeat on Dionysius I of Syracuse in the Battle of Cronium. However later he became insignificant after his defeat in a coup d'etat led by Hanno I the Great also causing the downfall of the Magonids. As an act of revenge he shared the secrets of the Carthaginian Army to Dionysius I of Syracuse. He committed suicide in the Siege of Syracuse but instead of a proper burial his body was crucified for his act of cowardness in the Siege of Syracuse. He was succeeded by Hanno I the Great but according to a few historians he was succeeded by Hanno III of Carthage.
