The <entity_0> (or Fields), also called the Battle of the Campus Mauriacus, Battle of Châlons, Battle of <entity_5> or the Battle of Maurica, took place on <entity_4>, 451 AD, between a coalition led by the <entity_1> general Flavius Aetius and the Visigothic king <entity_3> against the Huns and their vassals commanded by their king Attila. Whether the <entity_6> was strategically conclusive is disputed: the Romans possibly stopped the Huns' attempt to establish vassals in <entity_1> Gaul. "The <entity_6> raged five miles down from <entity_5> on the field called Maurica in Campania." Jordanes' description of the <entity_6>, according to Hughes, takes place from the <entity_1> perspective. Assuming that the Hunnic and Germanic forces were roughly the same size as the <entity_1> and federate army, those involved in the <entity_6> could be in excess of 100,000 combatants in total. As a whole, the current scholarly consensus is that there is no conclusive site, merely being that it is in the vicinity of <entity_2> (formerly called Châlons-sur-Marne) or <entity_5>. Simon Macdowall in his 2015 Osprey title proposed the <entity_6> took place at Montgueux just west of <entity_5>. This draws on the earlier work of M. Girard, who was able to identify Maurica as the "les Maures" ridge of Montgueux, based on the second Additamenta Altera to Prosper's Epitoma Chronicon, which states it took place five <entity_1> miles from Tecis or Tricasses, the modern <entity_5>. The <entity_0> is given its first modern historical perspective by Edward Gibbon, who called it the last victory achieved in the name of the <entity_1>. Even Hyun Jin Kim, who argues for a Hunnish victory, thinks that the <entity_6> had a major outcome on the future of <entity_1> Gaul.
