A Complete History on Atilla the Hun â€“ The Life of this Incredible Emperor from the Hun

â€œA luxurious meal, served on silver plate, had been made ready for us and the barbarian guests, but Attila ate nothing but meat on a wooden trencher. In everything else, too, he showed himself temperate; his cup was of wood, while to the guests were given goblets of gold and silver. His dress, too, was quite simple, affecting only to be clean. The sword he carried at his side, the latchets of his Scythian shoes, the bridle of his horse were not adorned, like those of the other Scythians, with gold or gems or anything costly.â€ â€“ Priscus, History of Byzantium
A lot of ink has been used to cover the lives of historyâ€™s most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editorsâ€™ Legends of the Ancient World series, readers can get caught up to speed on the lives of antiquityâ€™s most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known.
Attila, Emperor of the Hunnic Empire and thus most commonly known as Attila the Hun, is an idiosyncratic figure who has become more myth than man, not least because much of his life is shrouded in mystery. Perhaps the most famous â€œbarbarianâ€ in history, Attila was the lord of a vast empire spanning two continents, but he is best remembered for what he did not conquer. Though he seemingly had Rome at his mercy in 452, he ultimately decided not to sack the Eternal City, and a year later he had suffered a mysterious death.
What is known about Attila came mostly from Priscus, a guest of his court who wrote several books about Attilaâ€™s life in Greek. Unfortunately, much of that work was lost to history, but not before the ancient writer Jordanes relied on it to write his own over exaggerated account of Attilaâ€™s life. And like their leader, the Huns themselves are an instantly recognizable name with mysterious origins; most of what is known about the Huns came from Chinese sources thousands of miles and an entire continent away from Italy.
