Chronology
Interactive Chronologies with maps are available in the section Changes Navigation
January 431: Part of the former Roman territories in North Africa were not controlled by any polity at this point.
January 430: In the meantime the rivalry between Felice (magister militum praesentialis in Italy) and Bonifacio (comes d'Africa) began to produce deleterious effects for the Empire. When in 428 an army landed in Africa, Boniface, in difficulty, would have asked for help from the Vandals of Genseric, who crossed the Strait of Gibraltar to move to his aid. Some modern scholars, however, have believed that the Vandals would have invaded Africa on their own initiative, having the need to settle in a more protected place from the attacks of the Visigoths allies of the Romans.
January 430: The Vandals crossed the Strait of Gibraltar subdued Mauretania (429).
August 431: The Kingdom of the Vandals captured Hippo.
January 431: Numidia conquered by Kingdom of the Vandals.
