Authоr: Ammiаnus Mаrcellinus (lаte fоurth century CE), Rоman Antiquities. The Huns exceed any definition of savagery. Although they have the form of men, however ugly, they are so hardy in their mode of life that they have no need of fire nor of savory food. Instead, they eat the roots of wild plants and the half-raw flesh of any kind of animal whatever, which they put between their thighs and the backs of their horses in order to warm it a little bit. But roaming at large amid the mountains and woods, they learn from the cradle to endure cold, hunger, and thirst. When away from their homes they never enter a house unless compelled by extreme necessity, because they think they are not safe when staying under a roof. They are deceitful and ambiguous in speech, never bound by any reverence for duty. They burn with an infinite thirst for gold, and they are so fickle and prone to anger, that they often quarrel with their allies without provocation. This group of untamed men, aflame with an inhuman desire for plundering others’ property, made their violent way amid plunder and slaughter of the neighboring peoples.
