Greetings all,
Today we reflect with sadness on the Vandals, led by King Genseric, taking the city of Carthage in North Africa on October 19th in 439 AD:
This was a serious blow to the Eastern Roman Empire as this portion of Africa had been a major source of wheat to the Roman world for centuries. The Empire did manage to retake Carthage in 534 AD.
