Attila the Hun was poised to attack Rome in 452 AD, but his invasion was halted by a diplomatic mission led by Pope Leo I. The Pope is said to have met Attila outside the city and persuaded him to withdraw, possibly through a combination of negotiation and the threat of divine retribution. This encounter, along with the potential for famine and the strength of the Roman defenses, contributed to Attila's decision to turn back. Consequently, Rome was spared from destruction, and Attila retreated to his territory in the East.
