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. They are never protected by any buildings, but they avoid these like tombs. For not even a hut thatched with reed can be found among them. 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, more than once on the same day, and make friends with them again without a mediator. 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.

Even аs Rоme wаs under аttack frоm оutside forces, it was also crumbling from within thanks to a severe financial crisis. Constant wars and overspending had significantly lightened imperial coffers, and oppressive taxation and inflation had widened the gap between rich and poor. In the hope of avoiding the taxman, many members of the wealthy classes had even fled to the countryside and set up independent fiefdoms. At the same time, the empire was rocked by a labor deficit. Rome’s economy depended on enslaved people to till its fields and work as craftsmen, and its military might had traditionally provided a fresh influx of conquered peoples to put to work. But when expansion ground to a halt in the second century, Rome’s supply of enslaved people and other war treasures began to dry up. This would cause a labor shortage that disrupted agriculture production. This, in turn, created more stress on the already weakened economy. A further blow came in the fifth century, when the Vandals claimed North Africa and began disrupting the empire’s trade by prowling the Mediterranean as pirates. With its economy faltering and its commercial and agricultural production in decline, the Empire began to lose its grip on Europe. Other lesser economic issues included the wholesale hoarding of bullion by Roman citizens, the widespread looting of the Roman treasury by barbarians, and a massive trade deficit with the eastern regions of the empire. Together these issues combined to escalate financial stress during the empire's last days. QUESTIONS: Your response must be a minimum of 100 words.
