A classic.

Since Roman emperor Constantine declared that everyone who didn’t accept the erasure of Jesus from Chrisitanity, by declaring Jesus and God to be of the same matter, and so only old testament divine right of Empire mattered in theology, was a heretic, he did cause the ruin of rome, since the goths who sacked rome in following 2 centuries supported that heretic Jesus version of Christianity.

There would have been bonus points for stretching the Hun picture.

(They practiced cosmetic cranial deformation)

Enough that it would make sense to apply it to every representation of them? Otherwise that kinda seems not cool

It was apparently a common status symbol, so it’s fine but a deep enough cut you’d probably want to explain. Goths and Alans also did it though, among others, so just showing Huns like that is just showing you got your information from what’s trending in pop history.

IIRC they probably did it under Hun influence. Your average Germanic didn’t really.

I know about it from reading the Wikipedia article on artificial cranial deformation, FWIW.

I mean, they weren’t literate so there’s only so many things we know to say about them, and that one’s neat. I don’t know, are you concerned I meant it in a mean way somehow?
