The Barbarians

The Barbarians refers to various groups of nomadic tribes and semi-civilized peoples historically viewed by settled civilizations as outsiders and often as threats. These groups, such as the Huns, Goths, Vandals, and others, played significant roles in shifting power dynamics during the decline of the Roman Empire and other ancient societies. They typically migrated, raided, or settled in new territories, influencing cultural exchanges and political changes. The term "Barbarians" reflects the perspective of the established civilizations and does not necessarily imply a lack of complexity or sophistication among these groups.
