Barbarian Khan

yes the culture that happens to adapt/improve/recruit tech, culture and people from all over the place is the ''barbarian''

I was always under the assumption that 'barbarian' was specifically the term Romans used to refer to any non Romans north of the empire?

Still, funny shitpost.

I had thought it was specifically Greeks dunking on Syrian/Arabian because their language sounded like they were just saying, "Bar bar bar."

Reading up a little more, it sounds more like it was their description of anyone who is not Greek.

North west of the empire.
