On December 15, 533, Gelimer and Belisarius clashed again at Tricamarum, some 20 miles (32 km) from Carthage. Again, the Vandals fought well but broke, this time when Gelimer's brother Tzazo fell in battle. Belisarius quickly advanced to Hippo, second city of the Vandal Kingdom, and in 534 Gelimer surrendered to the Roman Liberators, ending the Kingdom of the Vandals.
ROMA VICTRIX!!!

That is something I must try to emulate in my next campaign...
A lofty goal, to be sure...
