Quote: Even Alaric and Attila never managed to capture an emperor.

New reassessments of the Battle of Catalaunian Fields (Aetius vs Attila) seem to remove it from the importance it once had. Not an earth-shaking battle.
But remember that Alaric took Rome (the city) three times, by starvation, by blockade, and finally by sacking. That is a record not accomplished by the ancient Celts nor the later Vandals. Three times hammers home a sharp point. :lol:
