What attracts you to Late Rome?

[Flavivs Aetivs]

The East was lucky in that the Sassanids were busy with the Hepathaltites to the East. HAd the Sassies launched a major attack at the Same time as Attila's campaign, the Eastern Empire would have gone down the tubes quicker than the west.

Luckily for the East there wasn't much more than minor battles on the Sassanid frontier which resulted in a white peace during the 5th Century.
