544 CE

The Moors, aided by Stotzas, are able to enter and sack the coastal city of Hadrumetum by trickery.

A priest named Paulus is able to retake the city with a small force without help from Sergius, who refuses to march forth against the Moors.

Despite this setback, the rebels roam the provinces at will, while the rural population flees to the fortified cities and to Sicily.
