There have been many barbaric leaders over the span of ancient history, but Attila is “one of the few names from antiquity that still prompt instant recognition, putting him alongside the likes of Alexander, Caesar, Cleopatra and Nero. Attila has become the barbarian of the ancient world” . Although it is debated whether Attila was barbaric and savage, it widely accepted that he was and still is considered a good leader.

In both ancient and modern interpretations and perceptions, Hannibal is infamous for leading the Carthaginian army and a squadron of elephants athwart the Southern European region and the Alps Mountains against the Roman Empire, who were manifested as the most powerful army, in the Second Punic War.

Nero .born in 37AD, died in 68AD. Maybe the most disliked and violent emperor of the Roman times, Nero was the man that ruled Rome from 54AD to 68AD. Nero was known by his crazy acts, like burning the city where he ruled or the fact that he hated Christians that is why he was particularly violent and cruel to them. The fire, that burned three quarters of the city in 7 days straight made so many accusations to Nero, so he said the Christians did this, so all of them died in horrible ways.

Being the god of manly courage, bloodlust, civil order, and warlike frenzy, Ares shouldn’t be considered a very powerful god. Even though he is the god over these things, he is no more powerful than the others. In fact he is actually weaker than the others due to his shear blood lust and blind rage allowing him to be easily overcome. Ares should not be considered anything other than the loser he is because he can never win a battle, is constantly getting in trouble, and has a very quick temper and enjoys bloodshed.

On anyone other than the future empress the whole ensemble would look like a wedding dress, and Lloyd guesses that it might as well be, seeing as how he was more than likely going to be giving her away to Emperor Azleid, or at least an Evilan battalion later that day. And their was nothing Lloyd could do about it; refusing to let two soulmates meet is high crime in Evilan culture. Then again looking at the pure contentment on Antlo’s face makes it to where Lloyd wouldn’t stop them from meeting

We cannot deny that Attila’s visionary tactics led him and his people to become icons in history. After his father’s death, Attila and his brother, Bleda, were able to amplify the drive of their troops with the ideal of power utilizing their version of the contingent-reward theory of extrinsic motivation in accordance with Thomas N. Barnes Center for Enlisted Education (BCEE) (2014a, pg.10). This motivation ranged from execution to exile to all who opposed him. Although harsh, this type of incentive to drive his vision forward made him successful in uniting hundreds of very diverse tribes to combine their
