Ad Decimum was fought between Vandals under King Gaesric and Byzantine forces under General Belisarius. It happened around the site of ancient Carthage, as did other engagements that year.

 

This This Byzantine victory marked the beginning of the end for the Vandals and began the reconquest of the west under the Emperor Justinian I. 

 

There should be cake!  :)
