Under new rule, the administrative system did not change much, although for some people to keep their land, they needed to pay lump sums. In 433, while the Vandal Kingdom was falling and Sardinia gained a great amount of autonomy, the governor of the island, Godas, declared himself King. Even so, the Vandal king, Gelimer (530-534), did not support Godas. He sent his brother to the island, who executed Godas the same year Godas declared himself king. The island remained under Vandal control until 534, when the Vandal Kingdom dismantled and the island went to the Byzantines. (Wikidata: Q3974089).

Very rare and in excellent condition for issue. Broad flan, nice light grey toning, with blackish deposits on reverse, otherwise. about EF. While coins of this type were first attributed by Brunsmid to the Gepids, Stefan later proposed an Ostrogothic mint at Sirmium has become the most accepted. The incompatibility of the weights of these issues with the Ostrogothic weight standard established under Theoderic, as well as the stylistic and epigraphic similarity with other Gepid issues struck in the names of both Anastasius and Justinian I, led Metlich to conclude that the whole so-called “Sirmium” group is, in fact, Gepid. The Gepids were a sub-tribe of the Goths who began arriving in Dacia in the AD 260s, and spread throughout the Balkans before invading Italy in the wake of collapsing Roman power in the late 5th century AD. For the most part, the Gepids were merely vassals of the greater Ostrogothic or Hunnic tribes, but from AD 454, when they defeated the Huns at Nadeo, to AD 552, when they were displaced by the Lombards, the Gepids possessed a state of their own in the region of the Carpathians and around Sirmium. Very rare silver siliquae and quarter siliquae are attributed to the Gepids during this period.

His reign was characterised by the continuous wars with the Saracens and the Duchies of Naples, Sorrento and Amalfi, which he occupied in 838, moving some of its inhabitants to Salerno. Sicard was also a builder, having embellished Beneventum especially with churches. He was killed by a revolt of the Amalfitans, instigated by Radelchis treasurer of the Principality, which paved the way for a period of dissension and the definite division from Salerno.
