Having command of the sea, Boniface was able to keep the city well provisioned and, after 14 months, Genseric was the one short on supplies. The Vandals lifted the siege, making the ordeal a technical Roman victory. However, Boniface quickly abandoned the city by sea to meet with reinforcements from the eastern empire; the Vandals were able to occupy the town and subsequently defeated the combined Roman forces in a set battle. Among those who died during the siege was St. Augustine.[1] References1. ^Thomas Benfield Harbottle, DICTIONARY OF BATTLES - From the earliest date to the present time, p. 13. {{DEFAULTSORT:Siege of Hippo Regius}}{{Germany-stub}} 7 : 430|430s conflicts|Sieges involving the Roman Empire|Battles involving the Vandals|Annaba|430s in the Roman Empire|Vandal Kingdom |
