Barbarians in the Byzantine Empire
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
In the Byzantine Empire, the term "barbarians" (Greek: βάρβαρος) was used for several non-Greek peoples. The Byzantines regarded most neighbouring people barbarians.[1] The Bureau of Barbarians was a department of government dealing with matters relating to these "barbarians".[2] In the Early Middle Ages in Europe, the term was applied to Huns,[3] Goths,[3] Pechenegs,[3] Avars, Slavs,[4] Bulgars,[4] and others.
