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.
