After Emperor Honorious killed General Stilicho and went after and killed all the families of all the Barbarians in the Roman Army, it's no wonder that there was no Roman Army left to save the City of Rome from the Goths in 410 A.D. Plenty of Emperors, not enough Legions...

+"Punic definition is - of or relating to Carthage or the Carthaginians."
Punic refers exclusively to Carthage.

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.
Meh, the deposition of the last emperor most likely wasn't a big deal for people at the time. The government was essentially powerless at this point, the Germanics ruled Italy at least nominally under the eastern emperor (as Germanic generals had done before) and the Roman institutions were kept intact. Very little actually changed.
@@Olento-lr7nm It was a big deal and contemporary rulers understood that very well. After failure of regaining Africa in 468 by the West Emperor Visigoths and Burgunds realised the West is finished and became taking emperors towns in Galia. Franks were emperors ally so they waited a few more years then started their own settlement in Galia

Seriously, who's the roman dummy who let the fleet at anchor just a few kilometers from Vandal territory ?
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. That's how all empires end.
The galleys of that time had no permanent crews and were stored in boatsheds on land. These sheds had ramps leading to the water. First thing one needed to get the fleet afloat was hiring the crews. If no one had time and/or money enough to do that, the galleys were just part of the loot.

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.
@Andree De haan yes that s the origin of the name of the people, I am just talking about using the verb "to vandalize " and the name "vandal" as a destroyer of property.
@Andree De haan the V in latin is just the letter "u" in capital letters so yeah it was pronounced W in thèse cases like with the famous Iulius Caesar quote was pronounced Weni Widi WiKi ( the c in Vici Always pronounced like K ) . About the pronounciation of the name Vandalos , it s also what gave the name of southern spain in the islamic Era country of andalusia from arabic country of "Al Andalous" from latin "vandalorum sortes" meaning lands of the Vandals (Vandalos pronounced "wandalos" into arabic "andalos" into spanish "andalusia" )
@Andree De haan yes it is very interesting to study cause that s what we ( ancient historians and archaeologists) started to focus on in the last years ( the lesser known groups and périods and stop the overglorification of greco-roman heritage at the cost of other people/ civilisations / periods often as interesting and complexe to study and document and preserve. Cheers mate
@Andree De haan i don t know but it sounds logical
The French are the ones doing the real vandalism
The Empire really did nothing right in those years. The saddest thing is knowing that it still had the means to repel the aggressors (or at least to resist waiting for better times) but uttelry wasted every opportunity.
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) .

@@moezlamloum Welcome fellow citizen to this great channel. Spread the knowledge and have a nice day.
@Tinúviel different sources tend to exaggerate on the level of violence and destruction of some people, much like the vikings who are misunderstood as mindless raiders from their victims since Lindisfarne. The Vandals and Goths also were viewed as such but many historians know that it's not that simple and they are people with complex social structures and high adaptability. They are simply people living during harsh times and trying to survive in that era of great decline.
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.

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.
It's actually a recent word (~ 200 years)
@@alexandruianu8432 Yeah, the world "wandal" in Polish means exactly the same thing, and it's certainly not some impossible folk memory of Vandals from 1500 years ago.
Wiktionary claims that Henri Grégoire used the world "vandalisme" for the first time in modern meaning.
Same thing for italian
A more ancient and direct example would the name "Andalusia," if the theory is correct. Supposedly the inhabitants of northern Africa referred to the region, from which the Vandals departed, after the people.
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!

@@quintenwhyte6660 My friend, I have a homework. Which event and which nation closed the Middle Ages?
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...
But their origin is mostly doesnt matter because they look like german than nordic norwegian or swede.

@@daarom3472 My friend, I have a homework. Which event and which nation closed the Middle Ages?
Look up Raoul McLaughlin Garamantians, he has several very authoritative videos on the subject.
@@videocvdv7317 depends on who you ask. The concept of the middle ages was invented on renaissance Italy as they rediscovered their Roman past. The term middle ages was used by them to describe the period between the fall of (Western) Roman Empire and themselves. Most history textbooks use the 500-1500 period but obviously the change was gradual and depended hugely on the region.
The discovery of the Americas and the expulsion of the last Moors in Spain is regulalrly used in Spain. The renaissance and rise of the powerful mercantile empires quite often in Italy. In France it probably starts ending after the end of the 100 years war.
In general what we see at the end of the middle ages:
Centralization of power
Building of (overseas) Empire
Modernization of armies including the increasing use of gunpowder
The greater dominance of trading families compared to the old mobility
etc. etc.
@@daarom3472 A few people told me that the Ottomans, the Ancestors of the Modern Turks, conquered Istanbul and the middle ages came to an end.
One of my favorite "what if's" is "what if Vandal Africa survived, at least a few centuries longer"
Fate should have given the Vandal Kingdom a lifespan untill atleast the Muslim conquests... They deserved it
I like to imagine it having a similar trajectory to places like France, where the Germanic nobles integrate into the local culture and a new Romance language emerges partly influenced by the Vandalic language.

Dude, do one on the Visigothic sack of Rome in 410 as well. I always find it interesting that despite the fact that 'Late Roman Army' was much bigger than it was from 30 to 284, it failed to save Rome. Where were the legions?
Dead in Theodosius civil war probably
After Western roman Empire lose Northern Africa and other provinces like Spain and Britannia . It Was not easy to become more soldiers. Most of the food for Rome came from Africa . You see the Problem. Western Rome failed because it lose his Important Provinces and for foos supplies Northern Africa Was Important. And most of the Legionaries was killed during the battle of the catalaunian Plains in 451. You can see that in 452 when Attila plundered Northern Italy and Aetius didnt have a Army to fight him back.
This vandalic raid was triggered by the assassination of the Roman Emperor Valentinian III, who had previously pledged his daughter Eudocia to the son of the Vandal King Genseric as part of a peace treaty. Claiming the deal was invalidated by the Emperor's death, Genseric invaded Italy and marched on Rome in 455
Such an invetible ending for the romans ey either way
You have some pretty good videos with great details on several battles I discuss in many of my lectures.
@12:15 I like how Eudocia looks like she's had about enough of this whole empire. 🤣🤣🤣
Gaeiseric did what Hannibal
had dreamed of...
Yeah, but Hannibal was fighting kinda united Roman Republic and still he was really close for capturing Rome, dont disrespect Hannibal like that! Bruh
he had the oppurtunity to destroy rome once for ever and he besieged for 15 years but he did not want to destroy it . Difference between us and romans is that we are citydoms people and roman were villagers and rude and they do not value civilization. My ancestor when they took sicily 1000 years ago under aghlabid rule (we were called then Africa) brought civilisation science art agricuture and founded palermo the capital of the island and never exterminate their people or forced them to islam ....that's the difference between us and the european barbaric civlisations who sacked others civlisation ..even the vandals when they come adjusted thei violent system to more logical and calm and wiser

Great content, as usual!!!
Brilliant video, thank you so much!!!!
Incredible graphics and editing as always!
Goes to show how the western empire's geography doomed it. Once a hostile force penetrated the frontier, there really wasn't much to stop them as they migrated into the Iberian peninsula and North Africa. Those regions were often the peaceful parts of the empire and so rarely needed a strong military presence, but North Africa in particular was important for supplying grain and being a source of tax revenue. Losing that pretty much broke the empire.
Not true, the WRE had a system for repelling invaders. I mean, they had been doing it for hundreds of years at this point. In fact Majorian started with basically just Italy but managed to retake Gaul and Hispania in short order, and was about to cross into North Africa when he was assassinated. They also got hit by a lot of simultaneous threats and civil wars, in fact fighting civil wars depleted the Legions leftover to fight the barbarians. Lest we forget, the Barbarians first ravaged the East before the West, Alaric made a name for himself sacking Athens before Rome. Rome needed a lot of reform to deal with its issues and there just weren’t enough good men capable of implementing such reform because they kept getting killed.
Carthage was called ( Today Tunisia) the basket food of Rome but today we import grains from Ukraine wtf .. idiot politicians in my country do not know the treasure they had and vandals knew thousands of years ago . Our idiot politicians have fertile lands plus Phosphate ( fertilizers) and wonderful climate . Myself look like Germans so m ancestors were vandals very impressive

@@happyslapsgiving5421 you know there is no solid proof that the carthaginans actually practiced human sacrifice, the whole thing probably was some roman propaganda, and no the carthaginans still existed during roman times and even the arab conquest

Congratulations!
Wrong and wrong. 😅
They even found Carthaginian statues (modern, non-Roman, archaeologists did, that is) of a Baal that basically had swivel arms to drop babies into the fire below.
"No solid proof." 😂
And also... yeah, no shit, Sherlock!
Of course some survived! 🙄
No genocidal maniac, from Julius Caesar to Abdul Hamid II, to Adolf Hitler has never managed to "catch them all", so to speak.
Implying that that means that the genocide never took place is downright idiotic, don't you think.
Regardless, the Carthaginian *NATION* was dead and gone after the third Punic war, meaning that they did *NOT,* in fact, take revenge on anybody, nor could they.
And furthermore, I'm sorry, but even those minorities who lived in Carthago *lived in a Roman city,* with Roman customs and religion.
Why go to all of that effort to falsify history in the name of a dead culture? 🙄
Cap Bon really deserves its own video.
Those Vandals were always just vandalising everything!
As an archaeologist in Tunisia (former roman Africa with Carthage as capital)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 Total War soundtrack only make these videos so much more enjoyable
Looks like the Ancient Carthaginians had been avenged.
what comes around goes around...
those that don't know their history are doomed to repeat it!
Septimius Severus was Carthaginian and he became a Roman Emperor.
Rome delenda est !
@@powerist209 Septimius Severus was born in Septis Magna in Libya, he was not a Carthaginian
You should do fruit introduced to the empire from returning generals from campaigns. We still have orchids full of citrus an cherry, brought back from Armenia an Turkey during Pompeys conquest of Asia Minor.
in Tunisia there's a city named Ariana near capital city Tunis and there's a group of football fans who's named the "Vandals"
excellent video
btw do you have any plans making video on the battle of Didgori?

The thumbnail said “Rome 455” and I was like wtf is Rome 455, another Star Trek location where the Borg attacked or something? Lol

Thank you for this video, it's always great to watch such history. With that being said, i would definitely like to recommend you to make a special video of khalid Bin Waleed, and his biography and military life, starting from when he was young and he was ymsent to the Sahraa' until he grew up and come back to his home as a well trained Knight or Faris and commander.
I just finished my Vandal campaign in Rome TW Remastered literally two hours ago and this video pops up at the same time :o
Thank you for the video, I am a north african from Algeria, please a video about Rais Hamidou VS the American Fleet.
funny to see how throughout history a strong personalities are conquering/building "states" (empire, country or other) and very rarely one can leave some system of power transfer without internal struggles leading to a decline (either short term, or leading to collapse of newly created land-unit).
Imperator Rome music and ambience, nice.
7:57 - Ah yes, Attila and Bleda's raid into the Eastern Roman Empire. Gaiseric was extremely lucky about this joint expedition, since most of the Eastern Empire's troops came from the Danube frontier, and this allowed Attila and Bleda to make their move. They broke the treaty with Constantinople that they signed 5 years earlier. And, I believe this was because they caught a Roman bishop raiding the tombs of Hunnic kings for their grave goods, probably to pass them off as "relics of the saints". Anyway, as a result, the city of Naissus, modern Nis, was thoroughly sacked. The Huns so devastated the place, that when Theodosius II's envoys went to meet with Attila and Bleda, they had to camp outside the city on the river. The river banks were swollen with bones, and the stench of death was so great that nobody could enter the city. Following such a demonstration, Theodosius II signed a treaty, and from their position of power, Attila and Bleda were able to gain an annual influx of 1400 pounds in gold as tribute, protection money to stave off another Hunnic invasion.
