PhD dissertation.
The kind of relationships that existed between the Huns and the Romans, and how the contacts with the Romans affected leadership positions among the Huns and the overall unity of the groups of nomads are the main questions in my research. In addition, I discuss whether the connections with the Romans led to rise of a Hun empire along with administration, even an "inchoate early state" or a "supercomplex chiefdom" as I prefer to call the phenomenon. For this reason my study is strongly connected not only to Roman, but also to nomadic studies, and I participate to the discussion of the social evolution among nomads.
