If I recall correctly, the rivalry between then leading Roman generals Aetius and Bonifacius also played a role: tricked into believing his life was in danger because of court intrigue by his enemies in Ravenna, Bonifacius invited the Vandals into Africa, and once he realised no such plot existed, it was too late...

When the destruction of Cartage was over, Scipio began to weep and publicly lament the misfortune of the enemy. Polybius asked him why he was weeping and he compared the fate of Carthage to that of Troy. He spoke the words of Homer:

“The day shall come in which our sacred Troy

And Priam and the people whom

Spear-bearing Priam rules, shall perish all.”

I love Vandal history. The Vandals were awesome.

Romano Spaniards: "We don't want you here!"
Geiseric: "Well, you all know what that means, right boys?"
Vandakl: "IT'S CRUSADE TIME!!!" *"Walk like an Egyptian" begins to play*

Some random Romans helped and it was beneficial for them .I would not say that it is ironic because the representatives of the Roman state did not help.. yeas this was the beginning of the end for the empire but for the average people in Spain it was something good because the vandals did not terrorise them

I always believed the vandals were Hannibal's middle finger from the grave

[calc]

In other words, the Roman citizens no longer believed in the Roman state

This irony of the Romans helping their enemies who would then turn on them continued well on through the Eastern Roman Empire indeed when you think about it the greatest enemies of the Romans and the eastern Romans was the Romans and the eastern Romans themselves.

I would like some anecdotes and stories that show why vandal became vandalize, vandalism. They must have been a chaotic destructive force.

[TetsuShima]

Valentinian III: "I can't believe we just lost Carthage to a bunch of filthy barbarians. Hannibal must be laughing at us from his grave now!" 😢
Justinian: "Spoiled Brat...Let God's righteous warrior handle it..." *Cracks knuckles*

Some alternate history Roman Empire videos you can do is what if Rome conquered Germany or what if the Eastern Roman Empire reconquered all the former Western Roman Empire territories.

yeah man the vilification of the Vandals has to stop, the only reason they are depicted as evil is because the were Arian Christians.

Vandals are originating from part of western Scandinavia. They were from West Sweden and SE Norway. It has something to do with Väner lake region Väner(n) lake's earliest name is *Vendiz "the turner". Then Vandals earliest name becomes logical, VendilaR, "smaller tribe from Väner realm". Some typical looks, that you also find in N Portugal and Brazil is like Lena Ranehag, Nathalie Hagman, Rebecka Blomqvist, Fridolina Rolfö, Johanna (Gudrun) icelandic singer etc..They certainly all have roots in the Väner lake kingdom *Vendiz...

Play to many sides for to much time and you will eventually fall.

Romans were not one people, they had their divisions like Romano-Britons, Romano-Hispanians, Romano-Gauls and so on. They cared more about their local communities than about other part of empire about which they cared little. They felt little connection to Rome and the empire and had more connection with their land and peoples

Vandal in Spanish vandalo a person that destroys, damage public building for no reason I think 🤔.

[michaelsmyth]

Gee Wally, this guy fails to mention the internal and seeming eternal bickering and squabbling that prevented Rome from acting in time. Oh, the Vandals did not have to be the enemy, that is the fault of the Catholic Church.

[erasamus]

final message we still haven't learned today yesterday's ally is today's enemy, amicus vel inimicus?

[mydogbrian]

*> My point exactly!*
- The very same thing that led to the undefeatable *Spartans* demise 900 years earlier.
And currently, the *USA's* transfer of 20th century technology to a *16th Century China.*

Where are the Vandals now?
I think that i am from them but also from Arabs i am from north Morocco in a group of people called Jebala (people who live in ⛰🏔 or Ghumara (Gomara in Spain too which is the name of the tributes but it is in Arabic and it means something like immersionists) however it's just the name that Arabs gave to us Jebala maybe since everything was strange.
Now france want to make us amazighs but it's totally false we are not.
And when they were trying to colonize us they were tellingy tribute Azerwal that they were christians before and they have to become christians again but my people refused we are now muslims and before we were arian christians not christians like now.
