Imaginea vechilor slavi din secolul al VI-lea în lumina izvoarelor bizantine. O lume altfel decât s-a crezut
The image of the 6th century Old Slavs in the light of Byzantine sources. A world different from what was thought

Summary/Abstract: The emergence of the Slavic nations in the Carpathian-Danube area and in the Balkans in the late 5th and especially 6th century had a huge impact on both the Eastern Roman and the Proto-Romanian world, which was reflected in the works of the Empire’s contemporary historians. The works of Marcellinus Comes, Pseudo Caesarios of Nazians, Iordanes, Procopius of Caesareea, Menander Protector, Mauriciu provided us valuable, very little known information on the emergence of the Slavs at the border of the Eastern Roman Empire, on their ambivalent nature and the impossibility to use them as Empire’s allies and last but not least on their contact with the local Proto-Romanian population.
