Description:

Play as the King of the Vandals and Scourge of God, Gaiseric; in Sid Meier’s Civilization VI.

Gaiseric was among the most successful of the Germanic conquerors towards the end of the Roman Empire in the west. Prior to his kingship, the Vandals struggled like many other Germans due to Hun disruption in the Germanic and Sarmatian regions. Gaiseric inherited a devastated army of Germans and Alans in Hispania, he rushed a fleet around Cartagena, and set sail for Rome’s North Africa holdings, one of the Empire’s breadbaskets. Gaiseric besieged various cities and brokered agreements with the Roman Emperors, this created a Vandal naval tradition of piracy that threatened the whole Mediterranean. Gaiseric is known for (accidently) killing St. Augustine during a siege and sacking Rome after negotiating with Pope Leo. Other Germanic peoples, such as the Anglo-Saxons, viewed the Mediterranean as the "Wendelsae," or "Sea of the Vandals."
