Bronze cauldron decorated with images of Suebi – Tacitus described the Suebi as follows: It is a characteristic of this people to turn their hair sideways, and tie it beneath the poll in a knot. By this mark the Suebi are distinguished from the rest of the Germans; and the freemen of the Suebi from the slaves (The Oxford Translation, Revised).
