BATTLE OF THE CATALAUNIAN PLAINS
ad 451
The Battle of the Catalaunian Plains is
also called the Battle of Chalons, because it took place near
today's town of Châlons-en-Champagne, France.
Romans and
Visigoths joined
forces and defeated the old fox
Attila.
Theodoric I was the leader of the
Visigoths and Flavius Aetius was the leader of the Romans.
The battle was of significance because
it stopped the European invasion of the Huns. However, this was the
last victory of Imperial Rome.
