BATTLE OF CHALONS
(451 A.D.): So it went on. What Rome began on the Metauro, Varus ended on the Rhine; what Arminius began on the Rhine, Attila ended at Chalons. Chalons is in the north-east of France, about the Tegion of the River Marne. Here Attila met a confederacy of Romans and Franks, assembled to stem his drive West and South. He was not himself killed or captured; but his army of Huns was decimated, and he retired behind the Rhine. Rome had struck a last blow to hold for part of Europe a freedom which she herself for so many years had threatened.
