In 468 AD following the defeat of the Roman fleet outside Carthage Genseric decided to invade Peloponese in retaliation. He believed that after the destruction of the Roman fleet and the subsequent weakening of both WRE and ERE it would be easy to invade ERE thus tranfserring the war there. So he managed to land in Mani peninsula with a large army but he faced heavy resistance by the local population who inflicted heavy losses to him so Genseric was compelled to abandon his plan. On his way back however he razed to the ground the island of Zakynthos and took 500 hostages who chopped them to pieces in revenge for his defeat and a few years later he made peace with ERE.
WI Genseric was successfull in conquering Peloponese? Given that after destroying the Roman fleet he was the undisputed controller of Eastern Mediterranean he would have been able to hold Peloponese for quite sometime before ERE recovers.
