The Alans, an Aryan people who lived north and east of the Black Sea, provided Europe with a first line of defence against the Asiatic Huns. They defeated the Huns in 357, but were overwhelmed around 370. Die Hunnen im Kampf mit den Alanen, (The Huns in battle with the Alans), Johann Nepomuk Geiger, 1873
