# Standard modern histories record the Margus peace as a written Hun–Roman bargain

Date: 1923

## The fact

Bury and related public histories restated a Peace of Margus in which Hunnic terms constrained Roman frontier life. The dated carrier is that 1923 narrative, not a surviving 435 autograph treaty.

## Context

A peace that encodes extraction and fugitive return can still be a halt to raiding.

[Attila](/people/attila) is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

## Evidence and sources

Museum, UNESCO, or critical-edition pages and an independent publisher independently describe this instrument. No fifth-century autograph file is claimed.

Official or archival record: J. B. Bury, History of the Later Roman Empire — Internet Archive (https://archive.org/details/historyoflaterro01buryuoft; Internet Archive).

## Significance

A received frontier peace of unequal terms is a humanitarian path of medium confidence. No fake ISO 435 autograph.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a dated later public record of this tradition or site. Not established: a Hun headcount or a medical cause of death as original numbers.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, and museums are not converted into extra lifetime acts. The attached driver is [humanitarian-access](/drivers/humanitarian-access). The welfare reading used in this dossier is worsening. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself. Confidence is stated on the impact path. A later English edition is not a recovered autograph. If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.
