Attila the Hun Part 1: The Sword of Mars
Attila will become a terrifying icon. Who was he, according to those who observed him?
We’re in south-eastern Europe in the 400s AD. The once mighty Roman Empire is riven in two. And on the Great Hungarian Plain a fearsome enemy is rising. The Huns’ king, Attila, will become a terrifying, iconic figure. A byword for plundering and pillaging. The archetypal warlord. But who was he really, according to those who observed him? What did Attila do that was so significant? And is his bloody reputation entirely deserved?
A Noiser production, written by Mark Piesing.
This is Part 1 of 2.
