Synopsis
Excerpt from An Introduction to the Sources Relating to the Germanic Invasions
A. D. 212, a Roman citizen might be a Briton at York or a Spaniard at New Carthage or a Greek at Corinth or a Syrian at Damascus. Everyone within the community of law was a Roman; everyone outside was a barbarian. Thus barbarian meant simply a foreigner, an alien, and was applied alike to Parthian, German, Nubian and Hun. Citizenship, not language or custom or race, was the su preme test with the Roman; and the babel of peoples which composed the Roman commonwealth was not concerned with nice distinctions between foreign tribes.
