Sack of Aquileia

Sack of Aquileia

The Sack of Aquileia occurred in 452, and was carried out by the Huns under the leadership of Attila.

Following the Battle of Catalaunian Fields, Attila launched an invasion of Italy, during which he razed Aquileia to the ground. This destruction paved the way for the rise of Venice to replace it.

This sack appears as part of the final scenario in the Attila the Hun campaign in the Microsoft computer game "".
