History remembers Attila, the leader of the Huns, as the Romans perceived him: a savage barbarian brutally inflicting terror on whoever crossed his path.

In the popular imagination, Attila the Hun is among the most barbaric leaders ever. His warriors have the reputation of being ruthless, cruel, and bloodthirsty, as the Huns are believed to have been savages lacking any semblance of civilized culture.

Gengis Khan e Attila sono sicuramente due tra i condottieri più conosciuti di tutti i tempi: il primo è stato capace di creare il più vasto impero mai visto sulla faccia della terra, il secondo invece con i suoi Unni fece tremare Roma e, a tutt’oggi, incarna il mito del barbaro violento e distruttore. Stiamo parlando di due icone che fanno parte dell’immaginario collettivo mondiale e che hanno scritto con il sangue pagine e pagine di storia sui campi di battaglia di mezzo mondo.

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.

Tanti furono i barbari ed i condottieri che calarono furiosamente dalle sterminate lande orientali per sfidare l'Impero Romano, ma soltanto uno e' entrato nella leggenda prima ancora che nella storia: Attila, il re degli Unni.Barbaro e distruttore, Attila incarno' per anni lo stereotipo del condottiero crudele e selvaggio.

De los hunos, y en concreto de Atila, su caudillo más importante, nos han llegado innumerables leyendas, todas ellas relacionadas con su capacidad de destrucción y su poderío militar, jefe de un ejército capaz de aterrorizar a las expertas legiones romanas.
