Along with his rival , Flavius Aëtius , he is sometimes termed " the last of the Romans . " After the death of Emperor Honorius in 423 , " primicerius notariorum " Joannes was elevated to the throne . Bonifacius refused to acknowledge him , and prevented the plentiful shipments of African grain from reaching Italia . After a revolt in Gaul , and an uprising by general Aëtius , Joannes was overthrown , Valentinian III , nephew of Honorius , was made Western emperor by the Eastern Roman Emperor , Theodosius II . Bonifacius supported him , and resumed grain shipments . Under the influence of Aëtius , the emperor ' s mother Galla Placidia convicted Bonifacius of treason against the emperor . Rather than surrender to probable execution , however , Bonifacius called in the support of Vandal mercenaries from their grazing grounds in Hispania . The entire tribe migrated " en masse " into Africa . However , by the time they arrived , Bonifacius had returned to Placidia ' s favor , and she had granted him the title of Patricius . He informed the Vandals that their services were no longer needed , but instead of returning to Hispania , they revolted and drove the Roman Empire out of Africa . The Vandals would rule the diocese until the Eastern Romans under Flavius Belisarius recaptured it in 534 . Bonifacius had been recalled to Italy before the Vandals had seized the province , elevated to the rank of " magister militum praesentalis " and to the dignity of Patricius . Fearing an imminent dismissal , Aëtius and his army of Germanic mercenaries marched against Bonifacius , descending upon Italy ; the result was the Battle of Ravenna ( 432 ) , which Bonifacius won , despite being mortally wounded . He died several months later , being succeeded by his son - in - law Sebastianus . However , the following year Aëtius would depose Sebastianus and become the " de facto " ruler of the Western Roman Empire .
