Abstract
The Periplus of Hanno narrates the development of an expedition carried out at some point in Antiquity by a Carthaginian fleet led by a “certain” Hanno along the Atlantic coasts of North Africa.
During his journey (and according to the Periplus), several enclaves were founded and part of that geographic area was explored and colonized. Despite the shortness of the story, composed of only eighteen paragraphs, it has powerfully caught the attention of researchers, giving rise to a "Hannonian issue," that has caused debates and oppossed postures regarding some aspects of the narration.
