A.D. 468. Photo credit: Fourat/Panoramio. Just like the army, the Roman navy has had its fair share of military disasters. In this one, a joint naval expedition (reputedly one the biggest in ancient times) by the Empire and the independent province of Illiricum against the Vandal Kingdom ended in a huge lopsided defeat.his battle marked the first time that a Roman emperor died at the hands of a foreign enemy. Set in the modern-day city of Razgrad, Bulgaria, the battle pitted the Romansâled by the co-emperors Decius and his son Herenniusâagainst the Goths.
This battle was largely fought on sea. Rome made many mistakes in the war and suffered terrible casualties because of it. Rome lost as many as 600 ships over 20 years. One of the great weaknesses of the Republic was that it had to elect a new general every year. Carthage gave up because of the cost of the war. Results of the First Punic War. Rome forced a heavy price on Carthage forcing it to give Sicily to the Romans.
