This book presents a historical and theological analysis of Attila the Hun, framing him through an "old-god model" as the literal manifestation of Sword-Mars. The author argues that Attila represents the war-god in his primal, untamed form, returning from beyond the frontier to judge a Roman Empire that had unsuccessfully tried to domesticate violence through civic ritual. By treating Attila’s childhood as manufactured historical camouflage, the sources focus entirely on his emergence as a world-threatening power whose identity is defined by the recovery of a sacred blade. The narrative explores how Attila humiliated the Eastern Empire through tributeand psychological terror before turning toward a Western Empire characterized as "exhausted Mars." Ultimately, the text interprets Attila’s career as a divine scourge used to expose Roman pride, while maintaining that even this supernatural force remained subject to mortality and higher judgment.
