‘Kargaşa’ Esnasında Tarih Yazmak: Geç Roma Müverrihlerinde İskit ve Hun Etnonimlerinin Kullanımı Üzerine
Writing History during the Chaos: Application of the Ethnic Names Scythian and Hun by the Late Roman Historians

Summary/Abstract: The ripple waves of the appearance of the Huns in Western Eurasia created an atmosphere of confusion, taking the Roman Empire in. In their attempts to narrate the events, Roman historians made it possible to follow this process, which includes the Völkerwanderung, to a large extent. When the texts of these authors, from Ammianus to Zosimus, are scanned, it is seen that the terms they choose in referring to the Huns, especially the Scythians and other ethnonyms, reveal how these authors perceived the Huns and how this era of conflict was reflected in their writings.
