Answer
Marcian took advantage of Attila's death by settling Germanic tribes as foederati. This meant that the tribes were allowed to settle on Roman territory in exchange for providing military service. This was a successful strategy, as it helped to keep the Germanic tribes under control and also provided the Romans with additional military manpower.
