The Whole North Into Gaul

[Flavivs Aetivs]

Anthemius had a fun reign. I planned to include the Invasion of Africa (468) in my IBUR mod as a Historical battle, but it never came to fruition.

Anyways, Sambida and Sangiban were names just seperated by time. Its believed Sambida gained control of Goar's holdings (he was a seperate group, the one settled in 442 to control the Armoricans as you have mentioned), likely because Aetius could trust Sambida with control of the Alan federates.

Anyways, I agree that the Hunnic troops would have made a siege of Attila's camp difficult, especially when you compare it to Athens' long walls. The Athenians used Scythians patrolling up and down the walls, and it would be the same concept of rapid reaction force with the "wagons" of Attila's camp and his Huns.

(I think Attila threw up a palisade, not wagons. How else would Thorismund confuse his camp with Attila's?)
