His 'The Fall of the Roman Empire' (2005) is considered the best work on the subject, and its central thesis (for a summary see <a href="/wiki/Decline_of_the_Roman_Empire" class="mw-redirect" title="Decline of the Roman Empire">Decline of the Roman Empire</a>) has not been seriously contested since he first proposed it ('The Huns and the End of the Roman Empire in Western Europe', <a href="/wiki/English_Historical_Review" class="mw-redirect" title="English Historical Review">English Historical Review</a> 1995). </p><p>The best solution would be to edit down the existing sections (which as it is are rather verbose) to reflect this view (which it can be safely said is the majority opinion) and then add a section subsequently on the historiographical tradition in which <a href="/wiki/Aetius" class="mw-disambig" title="Aetius">Aetius</a> became a poster-boy for a particular view of the end of empire (i.e. Gibbon's). This could be profitably linked to the existing section on his representation in the arts. </p><p>Incidentally, it is also a concern that whoever wrote the article talks about Aetius only from a Roman perspective. It would be useful to view him from the context of his Hun collaborators who, after all, were the basis of his power. In this respect, see <a href="/w/index.php?title=E.A.Thompson&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="E.A.Thompson (page does not exist)">E.A.Thompson</a>'s 'The Huns' (the 2nd edition with Peter Heather's afterword) and <a href="/w/index.php?title=O.J.Maenchen-Helfen&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="O.J.Maenchen-Helfen (page does not exist)">O.J.Maenchen-Helfen</a>'s 'The World of the Huns', both of which provide detailed narratives of Hunno-Roman relations (though differing on many points, cf. Heather's afterword on this). </p><p>Finally, the reliance on military history here is a worry. For this period it is unusually bad, and to view Aetius as a general whose career was a series of battles obscures the fact that he was a politician first and a soldier second. Having briefly checked the bibliographies of several standard works on this period, I see no references to either Creasy or Ferrill which makes me suspect they are not considered particularly sound sources. Moreover, on checking <a href="/wiki/Arthur_Ferrill" class="mw-redirect" title="Arthur Ferrill">Arthur Ferrill</a>'s faculty profile (<a href="/wiki/University_of_Washington" title="University of Washington">University of Washington</a>), it becomes apparent that late antiquity is not his field, but rather something he took a passing interest in. Consequently, it is misleading to the general wikipedia user to cite him as a repsected authority on this subject. </p><p>Aneurin Ellis-Evans (<a href="/wiki/Balliol" class="mw-disambig" title="Balliol">Balliol</a>) <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:86.154.69.88&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:86.154.69.88 (page does not exist)">86.154.69.88</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Flavius_Aetius#c-86.154.69.88-2007-06-05T14:00:00.000Z-New_Scholarship_Not_Included" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-86.154.69.88-2007-06-05T14:00:00.000Z-New_Scholarship_Not_Included"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-86.154.69.88-2007-06-05T14:00:00.000Z-New_Scholarship_Not_Included"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-KIeio-2017-01-15T13:26:00.000Z-86.154.69.88-2007-06-05T14:00:00.000Z"></span>Ten years later the entry is still full of imbalanced, outdated and chauvinistic scholarship.

Both were the best Roman generals of their time, and both were killed by jealous emperors. Aetius was a brilliant general but failed to look at how the map of Rome would stand later on. At the time of his death not one province of Rome in western Europe was without a significant barbarian presence. After his victories he allowed the barbarians to stay inside the Empire's borders in exchange for peace, and for troops to defend the empire. He also failed to continue to develop Rome's navies, a significant problem for later emperors. Some historians argue while he nominally preserved the peace, his reactionary stances left Rome ripe for its fall. But this ignores that no single figure, at this point in Rome's decline, could have reversed her fortunes. The Romans no longer raised their own armies. They no longer manned their own navies. These problems existed decades, even centuries, before Aetius became the last great Roman commander. Gibbons felt that Aetius delayed the fall, rather than contributed to it.

Even thinking of Gibbon is without importance and is not have any influence on that part of article ( I am creator of that part ). Strategic situation has been simple. Must important province of "West Roman empire" has been Africa. Even in AD 410 Alaric has see signification of that province and demanded from emperor Attalus which he has created ships for going with Visigoth in Africa. Attalus his puppet has refused to give ships even under death treath because barbarians in Africa is nightmare scenario. Majorian after Aetius death has seen that but he has been defeated. Even "East Roman empire" has started Africa invasion in time of emperor Leo but they have been defeated. 4 emperors ( last is Anthemius )in V century has seen that but not Aetius ??? Even in worst scenario without Gaul, Britannia and Hispania "empire" has good opportunity to survive in Italia, Balcans and Africa with East Roman soldiers which are protecting force. They have make minimal 5 military intervention for protection of "West Roman Empire".

The current text is simply dreadful! Most readers don't give a French fig for what one dum academic thinks over another. Wikipedia is not intended as an academic pointscoring exercise. This sort of academic argy-bargy could be relegated to a separate section with it's own sub-head. Now if it were a question of the only two antique sources on Aetius giving diametrically different views, then fair enough; some of that should stay in the main text. But it's not.

I certainly think that that would have a great deal to do with why he mustered the defense of Gaul so well but not Italy and other provinces... </p><p>He was able to successfully defend GALLIA because Attila made a strategic error in invading GALLIA in his opening attack against the Western Roman Empire. Aetivs' own Roman army was too small on its own to attempt to stand against Attila and his army on its own. Attila, by invading Gallia, threatened Germanic tribes now inhabiting the area. That fact allowed The MAGISTER MILITVM to gather several Germanic tribes as his allies against Attila, giving him an army large enough to engage Attila. This allowed him to meet and defeat Attila at CAMPVS MAVRIACVS (believed to be near Chalons). The next year when Attila returned he did not repeat his error: he went straight into Italy. The Germanic tribes Aetivs had mustered against him the previous year (451 A.D.) refused to defend Italy. This left Aetivs with only his own, completely out-numbered, Roman Army to oppose Attila, and the force was wholly insufficient. All Aetivs could do was nibble at the fringes; he could not attempt a pitched battle as his army would have been little more than a speed bump for Attila's army. The issue was finances: Rome did have the money to field large armies any more as their economy was in ruins, as soon would be the Western Empire. Read <i>A History of Rome to A.D. 565</i> by William Sinnigen and Arthur E. R. Boak; it discusses all aspects of Roman History, including economics. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Religion" data-mw-thread-id="h-Religion-2009-08-10T18:19:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Religion-2009-08-10T18:19:00.000Z"></span>Religion<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Religion-2009-08-10T18:19:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Flavius_Aetius&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Religion"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Dpartlow-2009-08-10T18:19:00.000Z-Religion"></span>Gibbons makes a reference to "His Religion" but it is unclear whether he is refering to Aetius or Valentinian (although I suspect it is Valentinian).
