The Huns were a wandering tribe notable in the 4th and 5th century CE whose origin is unexplored but, likely they came from someplace within the eastern edge of the Altai Mountains and the Caspian Sea, roughly modern Kazakhstan.
Ammianus Marcellinus, a retired Roman soldier, addressed his descriptions of the Huns longer than a decade after 376, the time when the events he relates took place. His description contains the prejudices of a Romans toward tribes who is supposed to be inferior beings or barbarians
According to Ammianus, the Huns grow up without brushes and without any appeal. They all have closely knit and powerful limbs and round necks. Moreover, they are of the big size, and low legged or of the husky patterns which are slashed out in a violent manner.
