The Lydian Empire

The Lydian Empire is famous for its development and use of coins as they were the first civilization to include gold and silver in their currency. Beginning in 1200 BC and running through to 546 BC, this empire survived in the Iron Age. The Lydian Empire existed in Western Asia close to the Turkish provinces. However, Croesus, the wealthy Lydian ruler running the empire, met his demise when the Persian Empire took control in 546 BC.
This said war is said to have been started by Croesus himself.

The Hunnic Empire

During the 4th and 5th centuries, a large army of equestrians (the Huns) tried to capture most of Europe’s reigns, including the Roman Empire and China. This empire’s origin is unknown but was a strong force of military personnel and horsemen that didn’t seem to have a stable plan. However, it seemed their mission was to confuse their enemies.
There was no king, but the people were led by the chieftains until Attila the Hun was lifted to the leadership spot. After his death, the empire, too, came to a slow halt until it stopped completely
