)
was
a
conflict
fought
Hostile_encounter
in
North
Africa
(

)
between
the
forces
of
the
Eastern

Kingdom

,
sacked
Destroying
Rome
and
defeated
Conquering
a
massive
Roman
invasion
in

.
The
Eastern
Roman
emperor
Justinian
took
this
as
a
pretext
to
interfere
Hindering
in
Vandal
affairs
,
and
after
he
secured

his
eastern

,
he
began

preparing

an
expedition
under

Belisarius
,
whose
secretary
Procopius
wrote

took
advantage
of
,
or
even
instigated

,
rebellions
in
the
remote
Vandal
provinces
of
Sardinia
and
Tripolitania
.
These
not
only
distracted
Gelimer
from
the
Emperor
's
preparations
,
but
also
weakened

defences
through

navy
and
a

Gelimer

to
