very good point of view. I am not asking for the developement
of this word but I just wonder about the meaning of this word
untill III centuries AC int he greek and roman vision. How
you could see from the nest message I gaeve, even the romans
were considered barbarians by greek, the romans have had a
properly definition for what "barbarian" at that time meant..
