“…150–152; Meier, ) and had the resources necessary for the Vandal campaign following the Endless Peace with Persia (Moorhead, , p. 66), also in 532. Experts on Vandal Africa, meanwhile, tend to highlight the economic motive of conquering a wealthy province, formerly one of the bread baskets of the Roman empire (Merrills & Miles, , p. 229; Steinacher, , p. 36).…”

“…It also stems from the idea that the Vandal elite had a poor relationship with the African Roman population. In defence of this position, scholars point out that émigrés siding with Hilderic beseeched Justinian to invade (Merrills & Miles, , p. 230), while the outlying provinces of Tripolitania and Sardinia revolted against the Vandals at the outset of the war (Goffart, , p. 192–193).…”

“…These stemmed fundamentally from the fact that to African Romans, the new rulers from the East were linguistically, theologically, and politically as alien as their Vandal predecessors (Cameron, ; Conant, , pp. 201–203; Merrills & Miles, , pp. 248–255).…”

Diplomatic relations between the eastern Roman emperor, Justinian, and “barbarian” Ostrogothic, Vandal, Visigothic, and Frankish successor states in Italy, Africa, Spain, and Gaul, were framed by competing claims to Romanitas during a period often viewed as a crossroads between Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Modern works examining these relations and the wars which resulted disagree as to whether the ruling elites of the successor states were politically “integrated” into Roman society or were barbarian interlopers, awkwardly trying to balance the interests of Germanic military aristocracies and native Roman senatorial and ecclesiastical elites. They thus reflect competing eastern Roman and western ideologies in the aftermath of the political disintegration of the western Roman empire in the fifth century.

Zusammenfassung Anhand unterschiedlicher Fallbeispiele aus dem 5. Jahrhundert wird gezeigt, dass die Mobilität barbarischer Verbände in der Regel ein temporäres Phänomen darstellte. Der Alterungsprozess der Kerngruppen kriegerischer mobiler Verbände erhöhte mit der Zeit den Druck auf den Anführer, nach Ansiedlungsmöglichkeiten zu suchen. Der Prozess der Ansiedlung selbst überführte den Anführer einer mobilen Kriegergemeinschaft in die neue Rolle eines Herrschers über ein stehendes Heer. Er war mit enormem ökonomischem Aufwand verbunden und führte offenbar dazu, dass die Herrscher sich verstärkt um dynastische Absicherung bemühten, obwohl eine solche während der liminalen Phase des Übergangs in der Regel zum Scheitern tendierte.
