The History of Ibiza - Dominique Sanson

VIII - The Vandals

VII - Roman Period II	IX - Byzantinians

When the Roman Empire collapses it is divided into two parts. The Western part is subjected to invasions by Germanic tribes. One of them, the Vandals, is evicted from Iberia by the Visigoths and move to North Africa and the city of Tunis from where they control the Pitiusas islands. They looted and destroyed, raping and pillaging the locals, but didn't leave much behind culturally.

Below: Daggers, arrowheads, tools, Roman water pipes, a grinding instrument and an axe head.
