Anastasius, whose words are quoted by Reland, describes the transportation of the Roman treasure (amongst them the Vasa Hebraica) to Africa by Genseric, and also their restoration to Europe by Belisarius. Procopius, speaking of the triumph of Belisarius, says, " amongst these (the spoils carried away from Rome by Genseric) were the vessels of the Jews, which Titus, the son of Vespasian, had brought to Rome after the destruction of Jerusalem; at the sight of which, a certain Jew, looking upon the triumph, observed that it would not be wise to carry these spoils to the palace in Constantinople, as they could no where be preserved but in the Temple where Solomon had deposited them; that on account of their forcible separation from it, Genseric had been permitted to capture the Roman palace and Belisarius that of the Vandals; and that the emperor having heard the story, ordered them to be transported to a Christian church at Jerusalem. What has become of them since it is difficult to conjecture; it is suspected by some they were carried to Persia in the year 641 by Chosroes, but Reland doubts whether the ship in which they were embarked ever reached its destination.
