Which group controlled North Africa during Anthemius' reign?

  • Ostrogoths

  • Visigoths

  • Vandals

  • Suebi

Answer

The Vandals, a Germanic tribe, controlled North Africa during the reign of Byzantine Emperor Anthemius (467-472). They had established a powerful kingdom in the region, centered in Carthage, and posed a significant threat to the Byzantine Empire's control of the Mediterranean. The Vandals' control over North Africa allowed them to disrupt trade and raid coastal areas, making them a formidable adversary for Anthemius.
