Purchase options and add-ons

Fully illustrated, this enthralling study explores how the Vandals in North Africa attempted to defend their kingdom against the resurgent Byzantine Empire during 533–36.

In AD 533, the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I launched the first of his campaigns to reconquer the Western Roman Empire. This effort began in North Africa (modern Algeria and Tunisia), targeting the Vandal kingdom established there a century earlier, which also included Sardinia, Corsica and the Balearic Islands. Featuring full-colour artwork and mapping alongside carefully chosen archive illustrations, this book shows how the Byzantine general Belisarius established his formidable reputation in the lightning-fast campaign that ensued, exploring the origins, tactics and reputation of the two sides' forces as they fought for control of North Africa.

The landing of Belisarius' forces took the Vandal king, Gelimer, completely by surprise; in September 533 the two sides met in battle near Carthage in an encounter known to posterity as Ad Decimum, with Gelimer ambitiously attempting to trap Belisarius' forces as they advanced. In December, the two sides fought again in a momentous clash at Tricamarum, where the fate of Gelimer's regime would be determined. A third battle ensued in 536, when the rebel Stotzas' Byzantine and Vandal troops confronted Belisarius' forces, the outcome sealing the Byzantine general's standing as the foremost soldier of his age.

Featuring specially commissioned artwork and mapping alongside archive illustrations and photographs, this vivid account compares and assesses the two sides' fighting men as they vied for supremacy in North Africa.

HMS Warspite

Return of the Romans...

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2023

Verified Purchase

In the period AD 533-36, the Holy Roman Emperor Justinian I dispatched an army from Constantinople to North Africa. Its mission was to begin the recovery of the western portion of the Roman Empire. This contingent, led by the superb Belisarius, faced long odds, not least being vastly outnumbered by their opponents, the fearsome Vandals. Author Murray Dahm has the details in this new Osprey Combat series book.

The author narrates three combats between the Vandals and the Romans, in Tunisia near the city of Carthage. Each contest would match Vandal numbers and ferocity against Roman discipline and tactical daring. The text includes maps, battle diagrams, illustrations, and relevant period art and artifacts. Well recommended to students of the warfare of the period.
