Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
The Byzantine forces included 10,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry commanded by Belisarius. The Vandal force included 50,000 soldiers, mainly cavalry. "With this victory, the Byzantines regained control of North Africa for the Eastern Roman Empire. This position became a springboard for the Byzantine invasion of Italy, and that invasion reincorporated, temporarily, the Eastern and Western Roman Empires." [Davis: 100 Decisive Battles, p. 92]
