Attila the Hun, in his time, served as the leader of the Hunnic people known as the Huns. During his reign, beginning from 434-453 CE, he ruled over the Hunnic Empire and came to be one of the most well-known barbarians of his time. Throughout his lifetime, Attila faced a number of obstacles and feats that forged him into the vicious, murderous person he grew to be. The Huns were a society of people who traveled from place to place. They are said to have originated from Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Ultimately, The Huns did not establish territory in Europe for a long period of time. Huns were viewed as outcast due to their barbaric behavior. Attila and his brother Belda, were the decedents of Mundzuk. Although born with royal blood, their The Huns and The Roman Empire happened to be allies for numerous periods of time. The Romans negotiated and proposed promises in order to maintain a respectable treaty. Later, the Romans were accused of failure to fulfill their promises. Immediately, the treaty collapsed and Attila consumed with rage. With no time wasted, he then declared war against the Romans. But this attack didn’t satisfy Attila, instead he desired to continue retaliation against Rome. The Romans could no longer take anymore destruction to their land, and decided to bribe Attila with more gold than before in order to preserve any amount of peace offered. For years Attila ordered the Huns to continue invading different territories, stealing their valued goods and murdering innocent He conquered many nations with little defeat. Attila filled humanity with fear by his every move. Of many nations he conquered, The Roman Empire happened to be one of the only territories undefeated. Though, many feared him, The Romans never stumbled upon Attila himself. His lifestyle differed from many in his time and that of our time today. Attila may have been less sympathetic than most, but whatever task he set his mind to was filled with lots of success. The vicious, and highly empowered Emperor shall be forever remembered throughout

Odysseus is one of the most renowned warriors of all time. However, many historians argue that he was one of the worst leaders in all of literature and humanity. Throughout the Odyssey, Odysseus has shown traits unbefitting of a leader and king. Odysseus is a lousy leader because he is arrogant, disloyal, and selfish.
For thousands of years people have been talking about the great powerful Caesar. He is one of the greatest known dictators known to people today mostly because of all of the things he was able to accomplish during his rein as emperor. After reading primary sources about Caesar, it has given me a better understanding of what other people thought of him during this time period. It’s safe to say that Caesar was obsessed with power and respect from other people that would explain his thirst for war and land, which is one of his greatest strengths and helped in making Rome a great empire.
...t then and there. But there is no way anyone can say he wasn’t a conquering genius. For a king to put in the effort to create such an empire better than what the Roman Empire once was, created his legacy that is still honored to this day.
The First Crusade from 1095 to 1099 has been seen as a successful crusade. The First Crusaders carefully planned out their attacks to help promote religion throughout the lands. As the First Crusade set the example of what a successful crusade should do, the following crusades failed to maintain control of the Holy Land.

The Roman empire and all that it achieved in the years after the Republic would never have been possible if Caesar Augustus had not ruled had not ruled at the time that he did. Augustus was the perfect emperor and he came at the perfect time. The empire was in chaos in the middle of another civil war and could have gone in two directions – more chaos or unparalleled peace and prosperity. Chaos was without a doubt what Romans at the time would have thought was going to happen, but Augustus turned the tide of history and ushered in a period of peace in the Roman empire that has arguably not been replicated by any great civilization since. The people living in the empire at this time realized how great Augustus was, the senators in Rome realized it, but most importantly Augustus himself realized how incredible he was and what he had done during his reign was. Augustus’ recognition of this can be seen nowhere better than in his work The Deeds of the Divine Augustus which recounts all of the positives from the reign of Augustus. Augustus had this work distributed across the empire to show people how great his reign truly was, however, for multiple reasons.
Justinian was born a barbarian, probably born of Slavic parents in Illyia. We know nothing of his early years except that his uncle adopted him. His uncle was Justin I, the emperor of Constantinople. Then in 527 A.D., Justin made Justinian a co-ruler. Four months later, when Justin died, Justinian became the sole emperor.
...ader. Putting his intelligence to use lead him to an extremely impressive record in battle where he was never defeated by an opponent until the weather was the only opponent that defeated him. The virtue of his reputation makes him either feared or respected by everyone around him. Deceiving people who he associated with lead him to conquer new lands and overthrow other leaders without them even realizing that they were at stake of a battle with Castracani. Had he not built these virtues he would not have had as much success in battle, not have been able to get people to listen to him and would have never become such an effective and intimidating leader.
Most of the time, though, the Huns just fought in a very random way. They would scream and run about and then all come together in a large group. They would then, as a group, approach the camp or town of the people they were attacking, and destroy it. Most of the time, the people the Huns attacked never even saw them coming. There were many ways in which the Huns chose to fight. They often s...
Conversely, many thought that Julius Caesar was a villain a because he decide to do things differently; however, doing things his way brought peace and order to Rome.By the end of his reign as Emperor Julius Caesar had made sure that he had fulfilled his most important job.

Throughout history, many leaders have had a great impact on the societies that they ruled over. In most cases, these leaders have had both accomplishments as well as failures. One such ruler was the emperor Nero most well-known for the burning of Rome, killing/assassinations of opponents and family members and persecuted Christians. All of these facts were failures but indeed, he did have some accomplishments such as reducing taxes.
Attila the Hun, one of history’s most successful barbarian leaders and often referred to as the “Scourge of God”. Attila was a ruthless and brutal leader who acquired power through blood and destruction. Attila kept many advisors and would often try to maintain his power by more conventional means such as trade, marriage or diplomacy, but more often than not, he would always return to what he knew best.
