Paul appeared to Attila, threatening to strike him dead if he did not settle with Pope Leo I. Final Years and LegacyДubbed 'Flagellum Dei,' Attila invaded northern Italy in 452 but spared the city of Rome due to the diplomacy of Pope Leo I and the rough shape of his own troops. He was defeated at Chalons in 451 by Aetius, who had banded together with the Visigoths. When the new Eastern Roman emperor, Marcian, and Western Roman Emperor Valentinian III, refused to pay tribute, Attila amassed an army of half a million men and invaded Gaul (now France).

Subsequently, Attila retargeted and destroyed what was left of the Eastern Roman Empire's forces.

Theodosius II had specifically built the great walls to defend against Attila. However, upon reaching the sea both north and south of Constantinople, Attila realized the impossibility of an attack on the capital's great walls by his army, which consisted largely of horsemen. He then moved toward Constantinople (present-day Istanbul), defeating the main Eastern Roman forces in a number of battles.

In 434, Roman Emperor Theodosius II paid a tribute-in essence, protection money-to Attila, but Attila broke the peace treaty, destroying towns along the Danube river before moving into the empire's interior and obliterating Naissus and Serdica. Attila was notorious for his fierce gaze according to historian Edward Gibbon, he frequently rolled his eyes 'as if to enjoy the terror he inspired.' He also reputedly scared others by claiming to own the actual sword of Mars, the Roman god of war.
