The Kingdom of Capsus was a Romano-Berber kingdom in North Africa, centered around its capital, Capsa.[1][2][3] It was founded as a result of the collapse of Roman rule in North Africa, corresponding with the arrival of the Vandals and the establishment of the Vandalic Kingdom in the 440s–470s.[4] It was likely conquered by Belisarius during or after the Vandalic war.[5]
