"History of the Wars, Books III and IV: The Vandalic War" by Procopius is a historical account written in the 6th century. This work explores the conflicts between the Roman Empire and the Vandals, detailing the political and military events surrounding the Vandalic War. The narrative delves into the ambitions of key players, including Emperor Justinian and various leaders of the Vandal tribes. The opening of the text sets the stage for the discussion of the Vandalic War by describing the historical context leading to the conflict. Procopius begins with an overview of the Roman Empire's division and the emergence of various barbarian tribes, particularly focusing on the Vandals' migration and eventual settlement in Roman territories. He recounts the initial interactions between the Vandals and the Roman Empire, painting a picture of the deteriorating political landscape that ultimately leads to warfare. Through detailed accounts of pivotal events, such as the fall of cities and the plundering of Rome, Procopius illustrates the destructive impact of the Vandal incursions and foreshadows the broader consequences for the Roman power structure.
