Not Romans! \-Romans, currently being ransacked by barbarians

Romans: Everyone except us and Greeks are Barbarians Greek: Shut up Barbarian

Heres the breakdown of my reasoning to put them there: **Goths** → textbook Roman “barbarians.” **Xiongnu** → described by Chinese as “barbarians.” Romans would consider later Huns barbarian as well **Early Bantu Migrants** → stateless, migratory, non-literate, if discovered by sedentary cultures , they might be considered barbarian by them **Vikings** → started as pagan raiders, considered barbarian by Christian Europe **Mongols** → archetypal steppe barbarians. **Moai Builders, Rapa Nui** → non-literate island culture, outsider to all known civilizations **Cossacks** → early modern raiders from the Eastern European steppe frontier **Manchus** → outsiders who conquered China, seen as barbarians by the Ming. **Comanche** → horse nomads, raiders, fought against sedentary Spanish and Americans
