 | | The eastern Roman Emperor Justinian I, who had supported Hilderic, soon declared war on the Vandals, ostensibly to restore Hilderic but really to restore north Africa to the Roman Empire. |
 | | Gelimer and the Vandals put up a stout resistance to the Roman general Belisarius and his army, but were defeated twice in 533, at Ad Decimium and Ticameron. |
 | | In 534, realizing he had no chance of regaining his kingdom, Gelimer surrendered to Belisarius in a cowardly way, Gelimer grovelled at Belusarius's feet and accepted the Romans' offer of vast estates within the empire. |
