Huns
19.99 €
In the 370s, eastern Europe was shaken by the invasion of a previously unknown tribe—the Huns. No one knew who they were or where they came from. There were probably very few of them, but frightened by them, the barbarian hordes inhabiting the steppes of the Don, Dnieper, and Danube rose in terror and rushed into the Roman Empire, marking the beginning of the Great Migration of Peoples. Christians called the Huns "the scourge of God" and believed they were sent to them for their sins. For about a hundred years, these newcomers dominated Europe, rivaling Rome and Byzantium in power. Then their nomadic empire crumbled overnight, and the Huns disappeared as suddenly as they had appeared. Where they went, too, no one knew. Only modern science has been able to shed some light on the origins of the Huns and their subsequent fate. But even today, far from all the questions of Hunnic history and archaeology remain answered. This book explores the Huns—their roots, their brief glory, and the history of their study. Author Oleg Ivik and archaeologist Vladimir Klyuchnikov have compiled virtually everything known about this enigmatic people.
