	The term '''vandal''' derives from the pre-modern [[Germany\|Germanic]] tribe which invaded the [[Roman Empire]] in the late 5th Century A.D. Vandals took up key positions in North Africa, including the [[bishop]]ric of [[Hippo]], erstwhile seat of [[Augustine]]. Later, the Vandals were expelled by the armies of [[Belisarius]] under the [[Byzantine]] emperor [[Justinian]].
