Dinner with Atilla the Hun // Priscus 448 CE // Primary Source #projectpannonia

Here we have particularly special primary source describing a meeting with one of the great leaders of history - Atilla, leader of the Hunnic peoples.

Priscus was a Roman diplomat from the fifth century, who took part in a diplomatic mission on behalf of the Eastern Roman Emperor Theodosius II to the court of Atilla himself. This is his story - in his words.

This is part of a collaboration with nine other History Youtubers on the incredible history of the Pannonian Basin - centred on modern day Hungary:

You can enjoy nine more videos on this topic in this playlist, but I would like to give a specific shout out to Epimetheus' video giving more context to the story of Atilla and the Huns:

I would also like to direct you to our brother channel's History Time's video on King Stephen, a fantastic subject a little later in history.

Enjoy this embarrassment of riches!
