The Byzantine–Moorish wars were a series of wars fought between the Byzantine Empire and the various Berber kingdoms that formed after the collapse of Roman North Africa. The war also featured other rebels and states such as the mutineers of Stotzas and the short lived Vandalic rump state of Guntarith. Following two insurrections and some initial Berber successes, the war eventually ended with the Berbers' defeat at the Battle of the Fields of Cato while attempting to drive out the Byzantines from North Africa.
