The Kingdom of Capsus was a Romano-Berber kingdom in North Africa, centered around its capital, Capsa. 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. It was likely conquered by Belisarius during or after the Vandalic war.[1]
