Attila the Hun is perhaps one of History's most ruthless and feared leaders. Apart from his larger-than-life reputation, what do we really know about him?
In this episode, Mark discusses Attila's upbringing, his various battles, and his untimely death at age 47. Next, Mark imagines a world in which Atilla gets to live in his palace, in Rome, well into his golden years. What other lands would have Atilla conquered? How many millions more would have died under his sword?
Plus, we'll hear audio diaries from a Roman foot soldier and an unstoppable (and bougie) Attila the Hun.
