Introduction

[Titus Vettidius Cladus]

Aetius used it to defend the Italy in 452. He couldn't blockade the Julian Alps so he stationed a big garrison and Attila had to attack the city or risk being cut off from the rear and out maneuvered. It almost worked and forced Attila to retreat, but Attila eventually won the siege.

But this isn't Early Imperial, and I have no idea what troops were stationed there before. Although one shouldn't underestimate Vigilies.

There is a legend here. Udine has a castle on an hill, they say that Attila build it to see Aquileia burning. Obviously that hill was made by glaciers thousend of years ago.

Almost forgot, probably yes, there were vigiles in Aquileia. I have to search some informations about them. I really would like to reenact someone that could have lived in the past in my region.
