A lot of mistakes and important facts left out.


I love the movie like presentation but they keep getting facts wrong or miss very important details. For example, Aetius was raised in the earlier Hun court. This is given as one reason he was able to defeat the Huns as he knew their tactics. He also chose not to wipe out the Hun army even though he could have. Some think it was because of his history with them but more likely because he understood they were part of an uneasy balance threatening the other barbarians. Wiping the Huns out would make Goths and Vandals more powerful. Either way Aetius was never put in charge of a large army again.
