Ezia

This name derives from the Latin “Ætia / Aëtius,” meaning “mother of the Hyades,” which in turn derives from the Ancient Greek “aetós (ἀετός),” meaning “eagle.” Ætĭa, in Latin, by the way, is the title of a work by Callimachus. Flavius Aëtius was a Roman general of the Western Roman Empire. He was a skilled military commander and the most influential man in the Western Roman Empire for twenty-one years (433– 454). He manages all the policy-making relating to the attacks of the barbarian peoples who push the Empire. In particular, he gathered a great Roman and barbarian army to win the battle of the Catalaunian plain, ending the great invasion of Attila in 451.
