In As the Huns swarmed over the
Alps and sacked Aquelia. The Roman
general Vaientinian abandoned the
strongly fortified city of Ravenna and
fled to Rome. There he felt powerIess
to oppose the barbarians and save the
city, and in his desperation appealed to
the Roman pontiff. We all remember
the pretty little legend Of how the head
of the Church of Rome caused himself

Is that Attila saw on either side OF the
