Podcasts about Aetius

Majorian was a young Italian commander who served with distinction under Aetius as the great general tried to piece the West back together again.  When Aetius is assassinated, Majorian survives the bloodbath, and the murder of three emperors in rapid succession, leaving him on the cusp of the worst job in the world.

No Longer An Enemy.Book 3 in 18 parts, By FinalStand. Listen to the ► Podcast at Explicit Novels."My Sister wished to know if you speak Mandarin," the brother translated for me."Hi, I'm Cáel," I greeted him. "Who are you guys?" He looked to one of the two goons holding on to me. I received a painful kidney punch. I discovered a whole new super-power. It hurt for about two seconds then nothing."I asked you a question," he repeated."No, I don't speak Mandarin," I lied so well it came across as a dour confession."Yet you know the secretive language of the Earth & Sky," he stated."Yes, I do. I have a thing for dead languages. Maybe in a few more years, I'll pick up your Mother Tongue as well," I bantered.No punishment was immediately meted out, so I suspected no one close to me, besides him, spoke much if any English. Jian Bob (my new name for him) didn't relay my insult. I wasn't worth it. He went straight for the reason for our get-together."You are going to die, Mr. Nyilas. That is a given," J B began."We both know you have done enough damage to our cause to be worthy of elimination a hundred times over. I'm going to show you respect by not lying to you about your possible fate. What you can do is save your young companion. We understand you two are close," he appealed in a very polite manner. Aya snickered."Cáel, these people are mentally challenged," she giggled to me, "or hideously misinformed.""I know, I know," I smiled down at Aya. "Still, they have gone through a great deal of effort to insult our intellect today, so let's humor them a little longer." Jian Bob issued several casual orders.In short order, a third man had hold of me by the jaw with one hand while trying to hold my eyelids open with the other. One guard held her by the shoulders. A second held her right hand, extending her ring finger. A third man held a knife to her top knuckle. A forth stood close with a small blowtorch."She may be a small person, Mr. Nyilas, but she can still die by the Death of a Thousand cuts," he explained."I love you, Aya," I told her softly."I love you too, Fehér mén," she succeeding in keeping most of the fear from her voice.Neither one of us could stop this. Aya certainly didn't expect me to compromise the Host for her benefit. She was as much an Amazon as the first Epona."First, I wish to know what alerted you to the attack at the Summer Camp," Bob began the interrogation."We know you were responsible. We want to know what happened." I looked into his eyes and waited patiently. He nodded to the guard, who shoved my face toward Aya's extended finger until I was less than a foot away."Do it." The Order came in Mandarin.The guard cut the top part of the digit off, one knuckle. I looked at the flesh and bone being cut away. In a clinical manner, I noted how sharp the blade was. I saw the blood shoot forth and heard Aya's little voice cry out in pain. I was pulled back and pointed at Jian Bob again."Do I need to repeat the question for you?" he said."No, I caught it the first time," I grimaced. "It tells me that you haven't the slightest idea who you are fucking with." Bob made a slight hand gesture and the blowtorch cauterized Aya's stump. Her little lungs belted out a terrible screech that wound down as her feet gave out and she hung limply in the guard's grip."Revive her." The blowtorch guy, clearly not his first day on the job, snapped some smelling salts under her noise. Aya revived, sobbing and in a great deal of pain."Cáel," she whimpered. "I have found my stillness. I'll be okay now." Her sobs subsided."Shall we try this again?" J B remained coolly polite, almost urbane."Nah," I joked, "we are both pretty good over here.""Again." The Mandarin order came. Off went another digit of her ring finger. This time her scream was much more exuberant and forceful. We all know it hurt like Hell, but the world had turned."He's going to kill all of you," Aya snickered while she sobbed. "You are all going to die.""Mu, what is the little girl saying?" she asked Jian Bob, real name Mu."She is stating her belief that Cáel will somehow kill us all," he and his sister shared the joke. "Let us see what her tune is when they start in on her left hand," the woman smiled at her sibling.That implied they'd cut off her right thumb and fingers, digit by digit, until one, or both of us cracked. The man nodded and Aya's nub was burned again. Her scream was more of a cleansing shout."Cáel, do you think I will have a nice horse to ride when I join Epona's herds, or will I get a pony?" Aya whimpered."Not a clue," I began before Mu had the face-hugging guard apply a finger strike to my solar plexus. Alal's gift had allowed me to partially organize my brain functions. Coping with pain was a whole lot easier now, but I had to be careful to monitor it because pain was Nature's way of letting you know that there was something wrong with your body."What color would you like me to pick up and have waiting for you," punch, "when you finally take yourself to the cliffs?""Again.""This is accomplishing nothing," the senior bald Mo Fo grumbled. "He clearly cares nothing for the child and has been trained in counter-interrogation techniques.""There is nothing to indicate that," Mu bristled."Xiàsh, burn the tip of his left forefinger," senior necromancer commanded. The guy holding my face coordinated with the men holding my arms to free me of my bonds and wrestle my left arm forward. I didn't bother resisting.It didn't take the commandoes long to figure I had stopped caring. On came the flame and the pain. Oh, I screamed. The pain was real. What had changed was my ability to shuffle it off to an isolated memory file to be tackled later. The bald creep stepped into my field of vision. His eyes were windows to the abyss. My "spirit" sight opened my eyes to the truly inhuman sections of his mind and soul."See, normal techniques will not be affective. We will do it, " and they realized the enormity of their mistake by assuming I was paralyzed by the pain. I broke free of the guy on my left and began twisting around the guy on my right. I wasn't getting away, I was going for his QCW O5. I knew their favorite martial arts styles and their weaponry now.The guy I was rolling behind realized what I was doing (going for his gun), but mistook my intentions. I wasn't trying to get away, or steal the gun (still strapped to his body). That cockhead even helped me out by lurching ground-ward. I swung the gun up, hit the selector and fired two quick bursts.The first three rounds hit Mr. Blowtorch in his right thigh, shredding it. The second burst caught Mr. Knife guy in the crotch, a triple 21mm castration. Had Blowtorch Guy not been busy trying to keep the strands of his right hip connected to his right leg, he could have stopped the blood fountaining from his buddies shattered groin. That was the end of my joy.I was born to the ground and the guy whose gun I'd borrowed pulled away. I hit the concrete surface hard. That was only the beginning of my issues. Radiating from the floor was cold beyond cold. I had the sensation of falling into the heart of a cold, dead star. How I even knew what the felt like was an impossibility."He feels very cold," protested one of the two guards, in Mandarin; pulling me back to my feet groused."If your incompetence has led to his terminal condition," the male twin threatened. I felt the approach of the female twin, her reaching for me. A new intense pain seared me to the cores of my bones. Before she yanked my hair up, my body reignited.I found myself stared into her pitiless eyes that regarded me with the casual callousness of a veterinarian preparing to put down some rabid stray dog. She ran three fingers over my cheek."What are you babbling about?" she snapped at the two commandoes. "If anything, he is feverish.""Zhen, have him sedated," Chief Necromancer demanded. "Mu, now we will do this my way." Once more I was bound. Someone stabbed a needle into my right triceps. That was a mere discomfort. If I had any consolation, it was hearing Mu ordering the execution of the two men I'd shot.They didn't have the time and facilities to tend to their immediate emergency needs and taking them to a trauma center wasn't going to happen. Those two went into body bags. I had to assume they would be joining us on the plane, though they'd be in the cargo compartment."What are you smiling at?" I heard Zhen snapping before my world collapsed down to a pinhole of light."Lady, I don't know what you said," Aya declared happily. "You are probably angry that Cáel has already killed two of you and we haven't even got off the ground yet." I heard a sound I couldn't make out followed by another and finally a third. That resulted in an Aya-squeak. Ah, she'd tried to hit Aya and Aya had dodged the first two blows. Good girl."Cáel isn't going to like you doing that," Aya chirped."Aya's a winner," I mumbled. I wasn't in control of my senses when they dragged me onto a waiting jet. I wasn't worried. With Aya at my side, I was invincible.DreamingI looked at her face, so youthful, beautiful in her own way, yet far from innocent. She bore a terrible weight. The armor she was wearing, that of a heavy horseman of the steppe, was a leather coat, chain links over her vulnerable regions (throat, underarms and skirt), with the rest being covered by darkened bronze plates.Her iron helmet was open-faced with mobile plates covering her cheeks as well as the sides and the back of her neck; it bore a white horse-hair plume, it was the only feature of her panoply that would draw any special attention her way. She carried no shield. Instead, she wielded a powerful horn & sinew composite recurve bow. She used her knees to rise up on her mount and fire over the mare's head.Similarly attired women rode close to either side of this young woman. Both were older; one in her early forties and the other ~ late thirties. The one to the left bore a lance, not in the couched fashion most people today are familiar with, but used in a double-handed over-head fighting style.The woman to the right fought with a strange blade. It wasn't saber ~ an ancestor of that blade perhaps. It was about a meter long, no hand guard, single-edged except for the top 4 cm on the back side which was equally sharp. Her left hand remained free. I think I saw her purpose. If the young woman got into difficulty, her guardian on the right could pull her horse away and lead the woman to safety.Behind and beside those three rode perhaps three hundred of their sisters. Those in the center were as heavily armored as those three. On each flank were the lighter, faster bow-women, on smaller steeds. The women in the center rode larger mounts that were good for carrying weight and pushing home a charge, while the flanking steppe ponies were virtually tireless.In the center, identified only by her long golden-mane helm, was the Golden Mare ~ War Leader of the Host. The Amazons didn't fly pennants or carry banners. They judged the course of battle by that woman's head movements (the mane was quite long) and the shrill horn blasts unique to the Amazons.Let the barbarians have the all too common deep booming horns calls and their totems raised high for the world to see. Let the Romans keep their trumpets and Legion standards. Amazons had been putting those fools in their graves from time immemorial. Right now, those horns had summoned the Host to a trot.The Hun, Attila, had tasked the Sarmatian Chieftain, under whose banner they rode, to deal with another crisis, the third this short day. Once more, they directed their horses over Catalaunian Fields. The Ostrogoth had gotten themselves into a world of trouble, those filthy, stinking Germans (why was I even thinking that way?)First the Amazons had ridden forth on Attila's right, reinforcing the allied Germanic tribes on the Right Wing in their attempt to force a wedge between Aetius' Romans and King Sangiban's Alans. They'd shown the fools the way, but the supporting Gepids cavalry was too timid and by the time they began to approach, the Golden Mare had been forced to sound 'retire'.The Roman auxiliary cavalry, though of poor quality, had plugged the gap. The Host were too few and too valuable (in their estimation) to die holding a position that their 'allies' might not rescue them from. Next, they had been directed to attack the center of the Alan cavalry line in support of the Huns.Despite the cowardice of their king, the Alans were hardy fighters and too accustomed to the style of steppe warfare that the Host practiced to be lured away from their position. Arrows were exchanged and brief, brutal skirmishes developed, but no advantage was gained. With their mounts exhausted, the Golden Mare had ordered the Host to retired to their camp to water their horses and refill their quivers.That bit of common sense and tactical wisdom placed them in their present crisis. Their Ostrogoth allies had been beating themselves against their Visigoth cousins all afternoon, charging up the same cursed slope that any sane commander would have found a way to flank. No, the Germans had failed seven times using the same plan, so they tried an eighth.Miraculously, they had gained a toehold on the ridgeline and killed the Visigothic King. Like a mob of mindless farmers, the Ostrogoths stopped to celebrate their 'victory' and taunt the Visigoths with the mutilated body of their fallen leader. The Visigoths had been properly incensed and counter-attacked. That's what Princes were for, to avenge their fallen Sires.As the Host exited the Hunnic laager, they'd seen the calamity unfold. The wavering Visigoth infantry had stiffened their line. Believing the Ostrogoths would press forward, the Horse-tail banner of Attila himself broke away from the central Hunnic body, pivoted to his left and thundered into the Visigoth's exposed flank.In the din of battle, it may have looked to the Great Warlord that he had a vanishing opportunity for victory. From the valley below, it was much clearer to the Amazons that the moment to break the Visigothic infantry had passed. The Huns were too tired; their mounts frothing from a long, hot afternoon of battle. Without a swift follow-through, the attack was doomed.At that point, headlong flight for the Amazons wasn't possible. Their long term survival hung on the Hunnic King keeping his Germanic 'allies' in line. They were still somewhere in eastern Roman Gaul, with the Rhine to ford and a land thick with perpetually vicious, blood-thirsty, crotch-scratching, flea-bitten Germanic barbarians to cross before they saw the green rolling hills of home again.No, the Golden Mare, and that young lady knew they had to do something to stem the tide of this disaster for another hour, then darkness would force the combatants to separate so they could try their hand at battle the next day. As the Golden Mare rode to the Sarmatian Chieftain, a rider came through the dust from Attila. The Visigothic cavalry had returned with a vengeance and the Ostrogoths were folding up.The Sarmatians (with their attached Amazons) were to 'somehow' repair the situation. As the Chieftain, the Golden Mare and three Sarmatian tribal leaders hastily discussed the actions. They saw the Hunnic Right, under hard pressure from the Roman attack, beginning to disintegrate. Of immediate concern was the rift opening up between the retreating Hunnic Gepids and the Hunnic horsemen holding the center.King Sangiban had finally discovered his manhood. The Alans attacked through that gap in the Hunnic lines and a rout was in the offing. The Sarmatian Leader decided he had to answer Attila's call. The Golden Mare offered to take her Amazons and whichever tribal leader volunteered first to ride with her against the Alans.She drew her sword and held it aloft then motioned the Sarmatians to look at her shadow."We will hold them off until the length of our swords double (the shadow). Then we are all on our own," she offered. There was no further discussion necessary. There was nothing else to say. The Host and their allies had the fresher horses and full quivers.The Alans had numbers but no heavy horse present, yet. The Host had answered Attila's call to war and now, nearly a year away from their homes in the forested steppe lands of modern-day Bukovina. At that moment they were wondering how few of them would ever see their horse herds roaming free this side of life.That was where my vision came in ~ that woman was 'Ishara', the last of my major bloodline of the first Ishara and this was the last hour of her life. The other two women were the only other two members of that vanishing bloodline. One was her aunt and the other a cousin. Despite the dire peril to their lineage, they joined their sisters in battle.Even though they were outnumber 2 to 1, the Amazons swept aside the first burst of Alans, scattering their bands and hunting the slowest of them down. Rushing alone to fill the gaping hole in the main battle lines was to abandon all tactical sense. Eighty Amazon heavy horse and perhaps twenty more Sarmatians ~ they were integrated now ~ alone simply weren't enough.For the roughly 300 lightly armored horse-archers, it would be a pointless suicide and that was not the Amazon way. Instead, they scattered the initial Alan rush then gently trotted back down the slope. Of course, the Alans regrouped and followed. It was the battle pulse of steppe skirmishing.By simply existing, they turned the rushing wave of that first Alan charge into a slowly strengthening tide. The Alans' mounts were tired and in need of water. Their quivers were nearly empty and some were seen at the top of the slope looting the quivers of the fallen. Whenever they could, the Amazons killed those clever souls.Killing an archer closer to you who only had two arrows left wasn't as economical as killing the one who was both dismounted, thus an easier shot, and about to have fifteen bolts to use against you. Without the constant harassment, the Gepids were able to keep their retreat orderly. In turn, the other Germanics farther to the right kept their mobs relatively intact as well.Their success earned them the inevitable enemy reaction. From his vantage point, the Roman Aetius saw the vulnerable and unsupported position the Amazons held. If he could push past the Amazon screen, he could still achieve a route instead of accepting a mere victory for his side. The solution was a force of

Aetius maneuvers himself to the top of the power structure in the West, only to be brought low by Galla Placidia and loyal Bonfatius.  After suffering his first and only real defeat, there is no one left to oppose him, but rather than seeking the throne for himself, he dedicates himself to piecing Rome back together, taking on his greatest nemesis, Attila himself!  

This is the man that even contemporaries referred to as THE LAST ROMAN.  Only son of General Gaudentius, born in Durostorum, a frontier fortress on the Danube, Aetius, he wound up in the West after his father fought under Emperor Theodosius at the Frigidus.  From there he found himself on a fast track that would send him as a hostage to Alaric and the Goths, and from there to Uldin and the Huns where he would grow up amongst Rome's most fearsome enemies.  When he was released by the Huns in his early 30's and returned to Ravenna, there was no man that had the knowledge of those enemies like Aetius, something that the Empress, Galla Placidia, knew all too well, as did his enemies at court...

Michael Walsh's new book A Rage to Conquer is a journey through twelve of the most important battles in Western history. As Walsh sees it, war is an important facet of every culture - and, for better or worse, our world is unthinkable without it. War has been an essential part of the human condition throughout history, the principal agent of societal change, waged by men on behalf of, and in pursuit of, their gods, women, riches, power, and the sheer joy of combat. In A Rage to Conquer, Walsh brings history to life as he considers a group of courageous commanders and the battles they waged that became crucial to the course of Western history. He looks first at Carl Von Clausewitz, the seminal thinker in the Western canon dealing with war. He then moves on to Achilles at Ilium, Alexander at Gaugamela, Caesar at Alesia, Constantine at the Milvian Bridge, Aetius at the Catalaunian Plains, Bohemond at Dorylaeum and Antioch, Napoleon at Austerlitz, Pershing at St.-Mihiel, Nimitz at Midway and Patton at the Bulge with a final consideration of how the Battle of 9/11 was ultimately lost by the U.S. and what that portends for the future.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

On the 21 September 454, one of the most extraordinary events in all of Roman history happened. Aetius, the hero of the Western Empire, was stabbed to death by the emperor Valentinian III. 

The year is AD 451. Attila the Hun is marching on Gaul. There the Roman general Aetius - remembered as 'The Last of the Romans' - is trying to form a grand coalition to save Europe.

In AD 433, Aetius secured his position as the effective ruler of the Western Roman Empire. With the help of the Huns, he defeated the Burgundians and Visigoths. But a disaster was about to strike the Western Empire. 

In AD 425, the six-year-old Valentinian III became emperor of the west. Another child emperor created another power vacuum. His mother, Galla Placidia, would try to hold onto power but could she thwart the ambitions of a Roman general called Aetius?

Welcome to Grand Dukes of the West! This episode begins with an introduction to the show and continues with a history of the Late Antique kingdoms of the Burgundians. The Burgundians were not the most famous of the Germanic Tribes that menaced the Roman Empire in its twilight days, but they did leave a lasting legacy. Time Period Covered: 406-534 Notable People: Gundahar, Aetius, Gundabad, Clovis Notable Events: The Crossing of the Rhine, Fall of the Roman Empire, Battle of Vouille, Frankish Conquest of Burgundia Cover Art by Brandon Wilburn Music by Zakhar Valaha

Surnommé « le Fléau de Dieu », Attila, chef des Huns, a semé la terreur dans tout l'Occident. Mais il va finir par trouver face à lui ce qu'il reste de l'Empire romain. Attila sera-t-il vaincu par Aetius ?

Attila the Hun! Does his name conjure up images of savagery in your mind? Of a bloodthirsty warrior-king who ruthlessly tortured and killed his enemies as he sacked city after city?  An especially barbaric man who stood out for violence in a time known for so much violence? OR - was he a man of his times? Was he no more or less violent than the Romans, whose historians wrote his story? And when they wrote his story, how much was truth and how much was hyperbole and slander? Today we look into 5th century CE Europe, when the Western Roman Empire is falling, when Attila and his Huns are sacking city after city. We try to separate fact from fiction, and get to know the real Attila, not the evil cartoon presented in clickbait articles and videos. The Bad Magic Charity of the month is SEO: Sponsors for Educational Opportunity.

I've been eternally fascinated with ancient medicine and all the different remedies and potions that medicinal writes were advising to cure all sorts of maladies! But one "cure" -literally- salted, cured, ham and bacon it was really above all others! Tarikhos -aka salted meat- and any other pork cut was considered light and and nutritious meat.I wanted to find out how it was used and why!The theory of maintaining or regaining one's health through a lifestyle of moderation and balance was called “dietetics.” More than in our days, diet played a role in preventing and curing diseases, and in fact it was one of the main areas of study at medieval medical schools. Not surprisingly, foodstuffs and dishes were seen in much the same way as simple and compound drugs, and like them were classified in accordance with the theory of the four humors, by which was meant a theory of the four bodily fluids. To find out the history of this early scientific theory we must go back to the sixth century B.C., to such Greek philosophers as Anaximenes, Heraclitus, and Thales.It was Hippocrates, the famous Greek physician, and his followers who around 400 B.C. added to the four qualities of Zeno the four bodily fluids blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile, and formulated a prototype of what came to be known as “humoral theory.”One of the few remnants of humoral theory that has survived into the twenty-first century; when we describe a person's temperament today as sanguine, choleric, melancholic, or phlegmatic, we are, in effect, referring to their dominant bodily fluid or humor: blood (sanguis), yellow bile (cholé), black bile (melaina cholé), and phlegm. The Greek physician who was the most prolific medical writer and who influenced medieval medicine more than any other was Galen of Pergamon of the second century A.D. In selecting and harmonizing elements of the humoral theory he found in Plato, Aristotle, Hippocrates, and others, he created a system that was capable of describing the world as a whole, and all inanimate and animate objects in it. By Byzantine times, the theory of humours was accepted without question by doctors and court alike and even amongst more common people. Foods had to be judged and balanced for their effects on the bodily humours, month by month, hour by hour, and according to individual constitution.Ancient medicals writers, physicians and philosophers mentioned on this podcast:Oribasius: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oribasius Aetius of Amida: https://peoplepill.com/people/aetius-of-amida Alexander of Tralles: https://www.penn.museum/sites/expedition/the-life-and-times-of-alexander-of-tralles/ Paul Of Aegina: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_of_Aegina Anthimus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthimus_(physician)Many thanks to Pavlos Kapralos for the music!

Ateş Saçan Mesane İdrar yolu enfeksiyonundan bahseden ilk belgenin M.Ö. 1550 yılına ait Ebers Papirüsü olduğu bilinmektedir.​1​ Hastalık, Antik Mısırlılar tarafından “mesaneden ateş saçmak” olarak tasvir edilmişti.​2​ Hipokrat, hastalığın vücuttaki 4 sıvının (kan-kara safra-sarı safra-balgam) uyumsuzluğundan ve buna bağlı olarak idrar rahatsızlıklarının kaynaklandığına inanıyordu. Yunan hekimlerin savunduğu yatak istirahati, diyet, narkotikler ve şifalı otlar ile tedaviyi daha da genişleten Romalılar, aynı zamanda invazif teknikleri (taşlar için cerrahi litotomi ve retansiyon için kateterizasyon) geliştirdi. Diyarbakırlı Aetius​3​, üroskopiyi geliştirdi ve bu tekniğe dayanarak üriner hastalıkların ayrıntılı bir sınıflandırmasını ve yorumunu oluşturdu. Orta çağ Avrupa'sı eski tedavilere pek birşey katmazken antibiyotiklerin keşfi ile mesanelerdeki yangın sönmeye başladı.​4​ The Ebers Papyrus (c. 1550 BC) from ancient Egypt idrar yolu enfeksiyonundan bahseden ilk yazılı kaynak Nedir bu İYE? İdrar yolu enfeksiyonları (İYE) arasında sistit (mesane / alt idrar yolu enfeksiyonu) ve piyelonefrit (böbrek / üst idrar yolu enfeksiyonu) bulunur. Kadınlarda, idrar yolu enfeksiyonlarının patogenezi, vajinal bölgenin dışkı florasından üropatojenler tarafından kolonizasyonu ile başlar, ardından üretradan mesaneye ve piyelonefrit durumunda üreterler yoluyla böbreklere ilerleme izlenir. Enfeksiyonu mesane ile sınırlı ise basit/komplike olmayan idrar yolu enfeksiyonu olarak adlandırırken ; mesanenin ilerisine yayıldığına dair endişelerimiz varsa (örneğin, yan ağrısı , ateş, pelvik veya perineal ağrı, ve / veya sepsis düşündüren diğer sistemik hastalık belirtilerini varlığında), bunu komplike İYE olarak kabul ediyoruz. Hastada 37.7 ° C üzerinde ateş, yan ağrısı, kostavertebral açı hassasiyeti, sistemik bulgu olacak şekilde üşüme-titreme ya da aşırı halsizlik-yorgunluk olması durumunda; eşlik eden piyüri ya da bakteriüri olması hastada komplike İYE tanısını düşündürür. Epidemiyoloji Akut basit sistit, 15 ila 50 yaş arasındaki erkeklerin çok küçük bir kısmında ortaya çıkar.​6​ ​​7​ Kadınlarda ise sistit oldukça yaygındır.​5​ Erkeklerde nadir olmasının nedeni erkekte daha uzun üretral uzunluk, daha kuru periüretral ortam (üretra çevresinde daha az kolonizasyon) ve prostat sıvısındaki antibakteriyel maddelerdir. Ayrıca anüsten üretraya olan mesafenin daha kısa olması, kadınların neden üriner sistem enfeksiyonları (İYE) açısından erkeklerden daha yüksek risk altında olduğunu açıklar. Erkeklerde akut basit sistit ile ilişkili risk faktörleri arasında girici anal ilişki ve sünnet eksikliği yer alır . ​8​ Diabetes mellitus ve yapısal veya fonksiyonel idrar yolu anormallikleri gibi diğer komorbiditeler de sistit riskini artırabilir.​5​ Klinik Sistitin klasik klinik belirtileri dizüri, sık idrara çıkma, idrara sıkışma hissi ve suprapubik ağrıdan oluşur​9​. Hematüri de klasik belirtiler içinde olmamakla birlikte sıklıkla eşlik eder.Tekrarlayan pelvik veya perineal ağrı ve ateşin eşlik ettiği sistit semptomları gösteren erkeklerde prostatit düşünülmelidir. Ateş, titreme, kasılma ve belirgin halsizlik gibi diğer sistemik hastalık belirtileri, akut basit sistit teşhisi ile uyumlu değildir ve piyelonefrit, prostatit veya diğer İYE komplikasyonları olasılığını arttırır. Piyelonefritin semptom ve bulguları klasik olarak ateş, titreme, yan ağrısı, kostovertebral açı hassasiyeti ve bulantı / kusmayı içerir.​10​Erkekler için, idrar yolu enfeksiyonunun klinik spektrumu prostatiti içerir; bu, tekrarlayan veya pelvik veya perineal ağrının eşlik ettiği sistit semptomları gösteren erkeklerde dikkate alınmalıdır. Zor Klinik Hasta her zaman tipik semptomlar ile karşımıza gelmez. Atipik semptomlar da tanımlanmıştır, bazı hastalar epigastriyum veya alt karın bölgesinde ağrıdan şikayet etmektedir.Özellikle ileri yaş kadınlarda anlaşılması daha da zor olabilir. Yaşlı hastalarda idrar yolu enfeksiyonu kanıtı olmasa bile sistit sempto...

Surnommé « le Fléau de Dieu », Attila, chef des Huns, a semé la terreur dans tout l’Occident. Mais il va finir par trouver face à lui ce qu’il reste de l’Empire romain. Attila sera-t-il vaincu par Aetius ?

Avant d’être ces hommes ou ces femmes dont le visage s’affiche dans les médias, alors même que leur vie ne tient qu’à un fil, les otages furent, depuis la plus haute Antiquité, des rouages indispensables aux relations entre puissants, garanties vivantes de la parole du chef. Jusqu’au XVIIIe siècle, ils furent associés malgré eux à chaque alliance, chaque traité, et même utilisés pour garantir la souveraineté d’un prince, tant au regard de ses sujets qu’au regard des dieux. Si l’avènement du droit international mit progressivement un terme à cet usage, celui-ci fut réinvesti par la guerre contemporaine puis par le terrorisme. À partir du XIXe, les armées utilisent des otages sous divers prétextes, et non sans en contester l’usage chez l’adversaire, repoussant, sous une forme diplomatique, les limites de la guerre totale. Considérée comme un crime de guerre dès 1945, la prise d’otages – si elle persiste dans les relations entre États – est désormais le fait du terrorisme, qui y voit une sorte de duel. Storiavoce propose ici une nouvelle série de cours d'Histoire avec Gille Ferragu. Avant de traiter la question des otages à l'époque antique puis médiévale, il s'arrête ici sur l'histoire des otages, de l'antiquité à nos jours : Quelle est l’étymologie du mot otage? Existe-t-il un point commun entre Aetius le dernier des Romains, Vlade Tepes, Jean de Berry, Marie Antoinette et Roger Auque ? Qu’est-ce qu’un otage ? Le sens du mot évolue t’il au fil des siècles ? Est-ce qu’un otage devient un contemplatif ? L’élaboration d’un droit international va-t-il changer la nature voire le sort des otages ? Etc. Gilles Ferragu est interrogé par Christophe Dickès. L'invité: Gilles Ferragu est maître de conférence à l'Université Paris-Nanterre. Spécialiste des relations internationales, de la guerre et du terrorisme, il a dirigé de nombreux ouvrages sur la diplomatie. Il est aussi l'auteur d'une Histoire du terrorisme parue chez Perrin en 2014 , rééditée et réactualisée sous format poche. Il vient de publier chez Folio Otages, une Histoire de l'antiquité à nos jours.

The Scourge of God descends upon Gaul. Aetius must rally what remains of Western Rome and unite with his nemesis Theodoric of the Visigoths. Together, they will fight Western Rome’s last great battle against Attila and his Huns.   When I started this podcast in January 2019 I decided that I wanted to tell the […]

I normally start out with a story of some sort, but today we're going to recap our history a little and then take a look around the European world of the year 561. If you remember back to our earliest episodes, we started our history around 451 with the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains between Aetius and the Romans and Attila and his Huns. Well, 110 years later, it's safe to say that a lot has changed! The Western Roman Empire stopped being a thing, the Franks went from being a small tribe in the north of Gaul to being the hottest new kids on the block, and the Goths went from looking like a sure bet to be the next source of power in the region… until they weren't. In the midst of all of this we have seen four generations of Frankish kings, a timely conversion to Catholicism on the part of Clovis, the first appearances of the Vikings, the beginnings of cross-Channel troubles between the groups in Brittia and the groups on the Continent, and we've seen more infighting, backstabbing, double-crossing, sea-bull loving, nephew killing and just general silliness than you see in most “normal” histories. Honestly, if I presented all of this as a script to a movie producer, they would tell me that there's no way this could have happened. But I think we've established that most of these stories are true, or at a minimum, at least based in a cohesive cultural and historical narrative. Everything has brought us here, to the precipice of a new, fifth generation of Merovingians getting ready to ascend to the Frankish throne. We'll take a good long look at them starting in the next episode, but for now I want us to turn our attention outward, to those who they were fighting with in this early medieval period for power, influence and control. Some of these players – and in particular, the Armoricans – will be small but fiercely proud, unwilling to fall under the yoke of the Franks. Other groups, such as the Angles and Saxons, will compete directly with the Franks, but will seek out new lands to conquer as well when it becomes apparent that they won't be able to expand any further to the west. In the case of the Goths, we'll see how this once proud group – a faction who any betting person at the beginning of our history would have gladly laid money on to become the next rulers of Gaul – stumbled, divided and then fell. And finally, we'll look at those members of the Roman Empire who didn't stop considering themselves Roman simply because they had moved capitals, changed languages, and lost control of, you know, Rome: the Eastern Roman Empire, the Byzantines.

By 476 AD, the Western Roman Empire had fallen. In this episode, we trace the final twenty years of Roman History in the West. We continue with collapse of the Hunnic Empire after the death of Attila and see how the West gets on without Aetius. Then, the Eastern Empire mounts one last rescue mission before the final Roman Emperor in the West is deposed. Before finishing, we briefly consider the different arguments as to why the Western Empire fell and discuss the merits of each. 

In 410 AD the Roman Empire hit one of its lowest points. But, within a decade it had rebounded. The reason Flavius Constantius. Constantius would rebuild the West only to die and early and unexpected death which would then throw the West back into chaos. Aetius would spend a decade cleaning up the mess (again) and would become the dominant force in the West by 433 AD. Meanwhile, the Vandals set sail for Africa with terrible consequences. 

Explore Athanasius and Arius. Athanasius branded his opponents under Arius’ name as “Arians” or “Arianism”. The East-West divide was not just Christological. There was a personal battle due to many not liking Athanasius. There was also an ecclesio-political as the church and state were intertwined. Consider the general timeline. In the 340’s, in the East, there was a basic distinction between Father and Son, yet they were ineffably close (Heb. 1:3). In the early 350’s, Constantius and “Homoian” (similar) theology argued that the Son is “like” the Father, but ontologically inferior and distinct. In the late 350’s, there was Extreme Subordinationism. Heterousians (“Anomoians”) held that the Son is “unlike” the Father. This emerged out of Homoian theology. The key figures were Aetius and Eunomius. Heteroiousians believed the Son was of a different substance than the Father. If God was not created, homoousious does not make sense as a term to describe an act of generation. The Son is generated from the Father’s will. Explore Basil of Ancyra and the Homoiousians. Consider the Epistemological approach (What can we know?). The Father and Son are alike in essence, but that is unknowable. Consider Basil, Constantius, and the “homoian” creed. We benefit from those engaged in these conversations from their careful exegetical work. Consider that God allowed His church to wrestle through these ideas through the lens of Scripture and then come up with a theological proclamation that does justice to what Scripture teaches.

The might of a combined Hun Empire challenges the remains of a declining and dying Western Roman Empire. Attila faces his greatest challenge at the hands of his friend and former colleague, Aetius. The fate of western civilization hangs in the balance as the Huns once again go to war!

The Roman Empire continued its fall into oblivion as Attila and his Huns rose to prominence. Men like Aetius struggled to keep the dying Civilization of Rome intact, but the King of the Huns had other ideas.

Faced with the arrogance of Attila, the court at Constantinople found some courage to face down the demands he continued to place on them.  But this didn't alter his overwhelming military advantage.  They might have found their backbone but still lost their empire had Attila not chosen to start his conquest of the Roman world in the West rather than the East.

In the late 420s AD, the Roman General Flavius Aetius connived and backstabbed his way up the chain of command. 

Attila the Hun was born in 406. After being a child hostage of the Romans for much of his youth, Attila would ascend to the throne with this brother Bleda. Attila soon killed Bleda and took absolute power over the Huns.Under Attila, the Huns would constantly raid the outskirts of Byzantine Empire. At one point, Attila engaged with Aetius of the Romans at the Battle of Chalons. Attila lost the battle, but still was able to make it to the gates of Rome but would be turned back after the Pope urged him not to push forward.
