The Hasdingi, Asdingi or Hastingi were a group categorized as Vandals during the Roman era. The name referred to both a specific ruling dynasty or clan, and also sometimes to the population they led.
The Hasdingi are known from Graeco-Roman sources for leading a series of migrations, starting with a settlement of former-Roman Dacia in the second century, and ending with the establishment of the powerful Vandal Kingdom which ruled Roman North Africa in the 6th and 7th centuries, and had its capital at Carthage in what is now Tunisia. The royal dynasty of this kingdom continued to be referred to as Hasdingi.
