      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.
