Australian Information from Wikipedia |
 | | The Vandals may have given their name to the region of Andalusia, which according to one of several theories of its etymology was originally Vandalusia (which would be the source of Al-Andalus â” the Arabic name of Iberian Peninsula), in the south of present day Spain, where they temporarily settled before pushing on to Africa. |
 | | Some believe the Vandals were first identified with Przeworsk culture in the 19th century, but autochtonic/allochtonic controversy surrounds potential connections between the Vandals and another, possibly Germanic or pra-Slovoian tribe, the Lugii (Lygier, Lugier or Lygians). |
 | | Through the Emperor Valens (364â“78) the Vandals accepted, much like the Goths earlier, Arianism, a belief that was in opposition to that of Nicene orthodoxy of the Roman Empire, yet there were also some scattered orthodox Vandals, among whom was general Stilicho, the minister of the Emperor Honorius. |
