Episode 64: Aetius (Part I)
The Huns (approximate) crossing point of the Volga, in Russia, into Europe in 370AD….
Durostorum (Silistra’s) location on the Danube.
Aetius (maybe?) on the so-called Sarcophagus of Stilcho in the Basilica of St. Ambroeus in Milan.

Episode 63 - Galla Placidia
Galla Placidia’s family tree - talk about a royal bloodline!
The Salarian gate, where Alaric entered Rome for the Sack of 410AD.

Emperor Valentinian III, Galla Placidia’s son, who is tied with his sister as being the biggest dummy who ever lived! Why? Listen to Aetius, Episode 64…
Constantius III, Galla Placidia’s second husband, not a bad guy! But certainly not loved (by her)…
