successful barbarian rulers of the
Hunnic Empire, attacking the
Eastern and Western Roman empires.

the Mediterranean, inspiring fear throughout the late Roman Empire.
Dubbed "Flagellum Dei" ("Scourge of God"), Attila consolidated

attacked the Eastern Roman Empire in wars of extraction. He never
invaded Constantinople or Rome, and left a divided family following
his death in 453..
