Explanation: Pope Leo I met with Attila the Hun in an attempt to convince him not to march on the city of Rome itself after Attila penetrated into Italy. Bizarrely, he succeeded. The details of the negotiations are disputed, but Pope Leo must've had a helluva gilded tongue.
Not much context to give, honestly! Pope Francis I made a visit to Mongolia in the early 2020s as part of his efforts at interfaith dialogue, and the Mongolian government gave him a warm reception. They do like their history there, so displays of traditions and equipment - as pictured - were involved when he met with the President of Mongolia.

Minor technical note. Until there's a Francis II, he is only Francis, the I is incorrect.
