Attila Turned Back at Châlons
“The Catalaunian Plains in Gaul, June 451. Aetius' Romans and Visigoths clash with the Hunnic host at sunset. Foreground shows Attila on a black horse rallying lancers; midground reveals Theodoric the Goth falling beneath a swarm of arrows and the foederati hardening their line; a vast plain of wheat-colored grass stretches to a horizon stained with dust and fire.”
