Various views of “Barbarians” Ammianus Marcellinus –“They have squat bodies, strong limbs, and thick necks, and are prodigiously ugly…They have no buildings to shelter them…They never change their clothing until it rots to pieces….” (p. 221) Priscus –“Attila’s dwelling had highly polished timbers and elegant towers…Maidens came to meet him under fine white linens, and offered him dainties and other wine, which he graciously accepted from his horse.” (p. 221) Tacitus –“In the election of kings they look to birth; for generals, valor; between wars they are in a sluggish repose, divided between sleep and the table….They have an ignorance of the art of building….The matrimonial bond is nevertheless strict and severe among them, and adultery is extremely rare, its punishment instant.”
