Map of Pannonia

In the middle of the 5th century Pannonia was ceded to the Huns by Theodosius II, and after the death of Attila successively passed into the hands of the Ostrogoths, Lombards, Avars (560's - c.800), Slavs (c.800 - 900) and Hungarians (since 900/901). The ancient name Pannonia is retained in the modern term Pannonian plain. Today, Pannonia is largely identical with what is called "Transdanubia" (in Hungary).
