34. A silver dish from Isola Rizza near Verona probably depicting a sixth-century East Roman soldier riding down a Lombard. The Roman’s weapons and equipment show Alan influences and many men in both Gelimer’s and Belisarius’ armies would have looked quite similar. Most Vandals probably carried a shield and spear rather than the two-handed lance. (photo James Steakley)
35. This sixth-century Egyptian ivory shows late Roman troops. In the middle is a horse archer armed and equipped as described by Procopius. The Vandals had no tactical response to such troops who could both skirmish and fight in hand-to-hand combat. (Rheinisches Landes Museum Trier)
