The Barbarians

The word "barbarian" means "not Greek, not civilized".

The Barbarians were Germanic peoples who did not inhabit the Roman Empire. Among them are the Franks, the Lombards, the Huns, the Visigoths, the Vikings and the Ostrogoths. Each people had its own political and social organization. They were harmonic peoples, who lived from agriculture and were polytheists, that is, they believed in several gods, to whom they offered offerings and dedicated their victories. They grew grain and grew animals for trade and their own consumption. Of all the barbarian peoples, one of them deserves greater importance: the Huns.

Quite ambitious, the Huns were skillful but violent warriors. They dedicated themselves to invasions, looting and looting for their survival and territorial expansion. Because of this ambition, for years they pressed the other barbarian peoples for an invasion of the Roman Empire in order to exploit fertile lands (Germania was an infertile territory, covered by marshes, which made planting difficult) and to accumulate wealth.

Synthesis

Attila, the Hun (406 - 453), also known as God's Prayer or God's Scourge, was the king of the Huns, who ruled the greatest European empire of his time from the year 434 until his death in 453. His possessions were they extended from Central Europe to the Black Sea, and from the Danube to the Baltic. During his reign he was one of the greatest enemies of the Eastern and Western Roman empires: he invaded the Balkans twice, he was about to take the city of Rome and came to besiege Constantinople on the second occasion. He left through France until reaching Orleans, before being forced to retreat in the battle of the Catalonian Camps (Châlons-sur-Marne) and, in 452, managed to make Emperor Valentinian III flee his capital, Ravenna.

Although his empire has died with him and has left no remarkable heritage, he has become a legendary figure in the history of Europe. In much of Western Europe it is remembered as the paradigm of cruelty and prey. Some historians, on the other hand, retracted him as a great and noble king, and three Scandinavian sagas include him among his main characters.

Attila was an important conquistador of the 5th century, famous for the attacks he commanded against the Roman Empire. He was chief of the Huns, a nomadic people of Mongol origin. "Attila seems to have been an astute and highly skilled commander, and under his leadership, the Huns dominated and terrorized vast areas of Europe and Asia," says English historian John Warry.

In addition to being skilled as warriors and having a strong leadership, the Huns had another important military advantage: a large number of soldiers, which was guaranteed by the subjugated populations, forcing them to supply men to the conquering army. Attila seemed to have an insatiable appetite for gold: if she received a fair amount of the precious mineral, she was able to stop offensive and save cities from destruction. But there is little reliable information about his life, surrounded by legends, and it is not known where or when he was born.

What seems certain is that around the year 434, Attila inherited the leadership of various tribes disorganized and weakened by internal disputes, managing to unify them. He ruled the Huns alongside his elder brother, Bleda, until he assassinated him around 445, when he became sole chief of his people. For the next eight years, Attila led the offensive in Europe, leaving the Western Roman Empire in a state of panic.

Although he was known as a violent ruler, he was probably not as ruthless as the fame he earned of his enemies indicates. In the year 453, when preparing an attack against the Roman Empire of the East, Attila died, apparently of natural causes. He would then be between 50 and 60 years old. With the loss of the great leader, the strength of the Huns was never the same.
