Attila the Hun Part 1: The Sword of Mars

We’re in south-eastern Europe in the 400s AD. The once mighty Roman
Empire is riven in two. And on the Great Hungarian Plain a fearsome
enemy is rising. The Huns’ king, Attila, will become a terrifying,
iconic figure. A byword for plundering and pillaging. The
archetypal warlord. But who was he really, according to those who
observed him? What did Attila do that was so significant? And is
his bloody reputation entirely deserved? A Noiser production,
written by Mark Piesing. This is Part 1 of 2. For ad-free
