Overall, Capital continuous represents an exeellent summary of the extant material evidenee for Vandal Afriea. 1t marshals this evidenee in eombination with prudent use of some of the more important literary texts for the period to produee series of thought-provoking conclusions on the nature of Vandal governance and elite life. Ralf Bockmann has made a valuable contribution to the flourishing debate on Afriea und er the Vandals. Von Robin Whelan In: Göttinger Forum für Altertumswissenschaft 16 (2013) 1097-1101, S., 1097-1101. -------------------------------------- As a conclusion, Bockmann's work is a worthy one concerning several topics as the importance of Carthage from every possible point of view, the hybridation between Romano-African and Vandal elites, the survey of archaeological remains dated during Vandal time and several other themes. On the other hand, there are certain approaches that are polemic or are subject to scholarly debate. However, discuss is historiography. Finally, there are some rude historical mistakes that the author should revise if he has the chance of producing a second edition of this book. Mistakes as saying that Valentinian III was the younger brother of Honorius (9) or that Guntheric was Gaiseric's father when both were sons of the Vandal king Godegisel (118). On the other hand, it's a pity than the author didn't employ more images in such a monograph where archaeology is such a fundamental tool and there are so many sites reviewed.
