So, now, this one is from Jack, a Jack Sarge painting.

Hi, Murray, do we have enough information to actually describe how the Huns were dressed for war?

Did they look much the same as the Goths or other migration era peoples? Is it a

misconception to think that they looked anything like the later Mongols? Did they go in for bright

or rich fabrics in their panoply like other warrior cultures? I've heard that they were keen to

get their hands on silk. Did they then wear this into battle?

Okay, lots of things to unpack there.

One is we do get some descriptions of Hanuk dress, but it is in the context of Amianus Marsalis, Procopius and Codonius Apollinarus.

Amianus 4th century, Cedius Apollinaris 5th century,

and Procopius 6th century.
