旁白:公元451年,阿提拉率领匈奴大军入侵高卢,攻占了特鲁瓦等城市。卢普斯主教与阿提拉会面,并被其赦免。阿提拉的军队规模庞大,他们掠夺沿途的村庄和农场来获取食物,每天的行军距离不超过12英里。罗马将军埃提乌斯组建了一支由西罗马军队、西哥特人和其它盟友组成的联军来对抗阿提拉。在奥尔良,罗马联军成功地抵挡了入侵者,迫使阿提拉撤退。在卡塔隆尼亚平原战役中,阿提拉战败,但他幸免于难,并逃回了匈奴。之后,阿提拉入侵意大利,攻占了阿基里亚和米兰等城市,但最终在教宗利奥的劝说下撤退。公元453年,阿提拉去世,他的帝国迅速瓦解。 Peter Heather 教授:阿提拉是一位独裁者,他的权力不受任何正式的宪法限制,并基于军事上的成功。他是一个非常精明的政治家,但他的权力并非无限,他需要利用他的战争机器来维持权力,但战争机器也同时威胁着他的权力。阿提拉的崛起和衰落间接地导致了西罗马帝国的崩溃。匈奴帝国的崛起导致许多蛮族部落进入罗马领土,削弱了罗马帝国的统治。匈奴帝国的崩溃进一步加剧了不稳定,因为匈奴人不再能够制衡那些定居在西罗马领土上的部落。从公元450年代开始,西罗马帝国不得不与西哥特人和汪达尔人等部落进行交易,以维持政治稳定,最终导致帝国的灭亡。

Shownotes Transcript

We track Attila’s progress as he rampages through Gaul. A family bust-up sparks an extraordinary alliance, as Attila gets engaged to the Roman Emperor’s sister. With the Huns storming deep into Western Europe, their king is on a collision course with his old friend Aetius. Will the Romans’ fragile coalition hold? Or will the prophecy of the Sword of Mars be realised?
