Rome pumping out more emperors than it could pump legions.

Gaiseric: Hey Hannibal?
Hannibal: Yeah?
Gaiseric: You're welcome.

[larson]

Carthage finally got their revenge on Rome; only took 600 years...

[nolletthibault]

Seriously, who's the roman dummy who let the fleet at anchor just a few kilometers from Vandal territory ?

Barbarians who have as capital Carthage: Sack Rome
Happy Hannibal Barca noises.

Imagine being Geiseric in 476 when your death is just around the corner and you hear that the Western Roman Empire has been disolved. It would have to be absolutely amazing to be able to see the end of an era just before you die, sort of like dying just after the end of one of the World Wars after having lived through the Civil War.

Vandals: "So how bout that Royal Marriage"
Valentinian: "Yes"
Maximus: "No, lmao barbarian"
Vandals: "Cowabunga it is"

As an archaeologist in Tunisia specializing in late antiquity ( a Big part of it being vandal History), I wanna make sth clear about "vandalism" which is derived from vandals. While that may make u think that the vandal people were violent people that vandalized everything in their path, it was t really the case they weren t more violent than other groups in that Era. Vandalism only became a term during the french révolution when a french bishop of an Abbey wrote a letter describing the revolutionnairies attacking churches as Vandals.

The Vandals passage through the Iberian Peninsula is still remembered today, as the portuguese word "vândalo" describes a person who likes to spread destruction for no particular reason.

This early schism between Arianism and Niceanism played an important rule in Iberia. Notably, one certain Martin from Pannonia, who came to Gallaecia, near Braga, and converted the Suebi from Arians to Niceans, and went as far as fighting paganism... in the very names of the week days.

Thanks to this now saint ( _São Martinho de Dume_ ), Portuguese is the only main Western European language that doesn't call week days by their ancient pagan names after gods. Basically, he called them, in rough translation, "second fair", "third fair", "fourth fair", "fifth fair", "sixth fair", then saturday, then the Lord's (dominus) day.

Here's an example, using Portuguese (PT), Spanish (ES), French (FR) and English (EN):

_Segunda-feira_ - Lunes - Lundi - Monday;
_Terça-feira_ - Martes - Mardi - Tuesday;
_Quarta-feira_ - Miércoles - Mercredi - Wednesday;
_Quinta-feira_ - Jueves - Jeudi - Thursday;
_Sexta-feira_ - Viernes - Vendredi - Friday;
_Sábado_ - Sábado - Samedi - Saturday;
_Domingo_ - Domingo - Dimanche - Sunday.

Greetings from Carthage, Tunisia. I have a little fun fact for you guys: Ironically we have a football Ultra fans who call themselves Vandals, they are unruly as their namesake. Also the term "vandalize" came from the Vandals for obvious reasons (lots of sacking) .

[Zantides]

Members list getting longer and longer, very nice 😄. You guys deserve it

[Akabari]

When I first heard "dating system, " I was like huh? And then I realized it was for literal dating lol. But I would have been appreciative if the Vandals cared about their people's love lives!
