Attila the Hun

Attila (406-453), Emperor of the Huns. Originating from the steppes of Central Asia, the Huns swept westwards and established the large Hunnic Empire, which stretched as far west as Germany and as far south as the Danube. Under Attila's rule, the Huns invaded the Balkans and Gaul, and gained a reputation for cruelty. He was known as the scourge of God (written in Latin at the top of this painting)
