Huns Cross the Volga

Hun groups advancing across Kazakhstan crossed the Volga and attacked the Alans of Europe.

Ammianus Marcellinus describes the Huns thus: "They are like animals rather than men; thick-necked, flat-faced, savage creatures who eat meat and drink blood." Extremely prejudiced, but it reflects the shock felt in Europe at the time.
