They argue that a shortage of grazing land in Pannonia led the Huns to abandon their traditional pastoral economy. As a result, the Huns depended on extracting tribute from the Romans for their survival. This article re-examines the evidence for this interpretation. It reasserts the conventional picture of the Huns as a nomadic people. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | War & Society, 34(1), p. 1-22 | Publisher: | Maney Publishing | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 2042-4345 0729-2473 |
