Yes, probably Huns. According to the 4th century Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus: "Huns were not bound by any reverence for religion or superstition". Since you posted in Native American Spirituality, I will tell you that I have never met another Native who is Atheist and it would be rare to meet one. Almost all Natives believe in a Creator. Yes, there are groups of indigenous people in the Amazon that are atheists. See the related link below. There is also a Lenape man named Dan Barker that is a prominent atheist author and lecturer. It's uncommon but not impossible. There were also tribes that believed in a creator but did not actively worship one.
Marcellinus of Carthage died in 413.
Marcellinus Comes died in 534.
Pope Marcellinus died on 304-04-01.
That is the way they were seen. If a person wasn't a Roman he/she was seen as a barbarian ( Greek for other) and treated very rudely and harshly. The Huns were barbarian and were very good horsemen, excellent fighters, and fierce in battle. They didn't fight using the Roman battle methods and to the Romans this barbaric.
Its the female version of Marcellinus in French Marcellinus is a christian saint
