Editing Goths (section)

==Physical appearance==
In ancient sources, the Goths are always described as tall and athletic, with [[light skin]], [[blonde]] hair and [[blue eyes]].<ref name="Bradley_9">{{harvnb|Bradley|1888|p=9}} "The Goths are always described as tall and athletic men, with fair complexions, blue eyes, and yellow hair..."</ref>{{sfn|Wolfram|1990|p=6}} The 4th-century Greek historian [[Eunapius]] described their characteristic powerful musculature in a pejorative way: "Their bodies provoked contempt in all who saw them, for they were far too big and far too heavy for their feet to carry them, and they were pinched in at the waist – just like those insects [[Aristotle]] writes of."{{sfn|Moorhead|Stuttard|2006|p=56}} [[Procopius]] notes that the Vandals and Gepids looked similar to the Goths, and on this basis, he suggested that they were all of common origin. Of the Goths, he wrote that "they all have white bodies and fair hair, and are tall and handsome to look upon."<ref name="Procopius_III.II">{{harvnb|Procopius|1914|p=}}, [[:Wikisource:History of the Wars/Book III#II|Book III, II]]</ref>
