Victor Vitensis (Book I.2) names 80.000 Vandals, including women and children, as well as their Alan allies.

Quote:How many soldiers had the comes Bonifacius? (Maybe 30.000 between limitaeni and comitatenses?)
No figures given. Boniface fiest held comand in Africa, he commanded possibly the troops mentioned in the Notitia Dignitatum, but since he had a Gothic wife these may have included Gothic soldiers. But no numbers known.

Then, the vandals may have carried 10.000-15.000 warriors (more or less), no?
