      Absolutely, although I don’t think barbarians were quite that bad.

        Wasn’t barbarian just Roman slang for non Romans?

          Yes, but more specifically the non romans from the north.

          I think Barbarian comes from much later when the Barbary Pirates were kidnapping people and razing villages and towns to the ground and forcing people into slavery. I think “Goths” and “Vandals” would be more appropriate, but I could be wildly mistaken
