Chalons Echoes of a Bloody Past and Attila’s Stand
Paris reflects on Chalons sur Marne as a symbol of ancient and modern sieges. The piece recalls the 451 year old Battle of Chalons where Attila and the Huns clashed with Romans and Visigoths, the carnage estimated from 165000 to 300000, and a legendary pyre scene. It draws parallels to today’s German advance and notes Attila’s stoic rhetoric and divine self-styling as “The Dread of the World.”
