          Who was

          Attila the Hun?

          Ed Powell, Stoke
          The Hunnic Empire was
          one of the largest empires
          in Antiquity and its most
          famous ruler was Attila. The
          Hunnic hordes continually
          assaulted the eastern portion
          of the Roman Empire as they
          dominated Eastern Europe
          and parts of Asia in the 4th
          century. Attila was known as
          a man who desired wealth
          above all and his advances                                               Discover unbelie
