vandals

In the year 439, King Gaiseric of the Vandals defeated the Romans (under general Bonifacius) to take over Carthage (now in modern day Tunisia in North Africa).

Modern Carthage is now an outer suburb of the capital Tunis. Not an interesting place anymore to see, although some of the ruins and the museum are worth a visit.
