@Sandro Veronese, thanks for the heads up. Those interested can see those images of Altinum, made using a magnetic survey rather than infrared images, here: http://www.planetinternet.it/archaeosurvey/bigmac1.htm

Sorry, but the first image of the roman town of Altino, or to be more precise of a significant part of Altino, was produced by Sandro Veronese an italian free lance geophysicist,using the magnetic method based on the measuremnts of the Earth’ magnetic field, in the 1989.
The image of the Roman town is visible on the web site http://www.archaeosurvey.it and on the web site http://www.planetinternet.it/archaeosurvey and on march 2000 “LE SCIENZE” italian edition of Scientific American

thanks

Guesses are the Huns may have migrated from Eurasia but there is not good evidence for their origin. And if you take a look at a map of the actual Hun Empire, you’ll notice that it barely crosses into Asia, and comes no where near central Asia (depending on where you draw the defining line for Asia, which looks to be about in-line with the Caspian Sea, which was the eastern limit of the Hun Empire). As the empire was forged by Attila, even if if they had come from Mongolia (unsubstantiated claim) some time in the distant past, he was definitely born when the Hun tribes occupied the Germanic regions.

“There are no historical records that definitively answer where the Huns in Europe of the 4th century came from.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huns#Origin

And here is a map of the Hun Empire, entirely on what we now define as the European continent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:450_roman-hunnic-empire_1764x1116.jpg

Attila the Hun was not Germanic!
Hun Empire originated from Central Asia.
