Greetings all,
On this day we commemorate with joy the victory by
the Roman General Flavius Aetius who stopped the forces of Attila the
Hun in the Battle of the Catalunian Plains on June 20th in 451 AD:
This victory was hugely significant to both the Western and Eastern
Roman Empire as it finally broke Attila's aura of invincibility. It
was said at the time that 300,000 people died on the battlefield and the
fighting was so fierce the shades of the dead continued to fight... and
the echoes of the sounds of battle could still be heard at the site for
days after it's end.
-Marcus Cassius Julianus
