## Resource

Special guest: Attila the Hun. Rome didn't fall all at once, but when the Emperor's sister invites the Huns to invade, you gotta know something's not going super well. In this episode we encounter the plague, metaphorical backstabbing, literal backstabbing, the death of a boyfriend, a marriage proposal, and the fall of Rome.
