Additional notes on a new book about the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century: Timo Stickler and Umberto Roberto (Hrsg.), Weströmische Reich und seine Erforschung. Neue Perspektiven. Kohlhammer, Stuttgart 2024

Abstract In his paper the author deals with the contributions of a new volume on the history of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century and added several additional notes to each paper. As several papers studied the relationship of Ravenna and Attila the Hun the author examined the written sources concerning the Huns in detail and came to the conclusion that there was only one foedus concluded with Attila after 433 and Pannonia was ceded to the Huns in this treaty. Attila was formally the magister militum of the Western Roman Empire.
