The term barbarian is generally used to refer to people who were not native to Greece or who did not speak the Greek or Latin language. This derives from the Greek word "βάρβαρος" which when translated means, "person who babbles". In general, the Persian term was used to designate the Persians, since when they spoke the sounds they produced with their mouth sounded similar to the babbling little children emitted. Likewise, the Greek word was modified to Latin as "barbarus" which was used by the Romans to name foreigners or populations that were not equal to Rome in culture and belief, classifying them as wild and primitive, despite the fact that said peoples were mostly farmers and hunters.
Through the centuries the use of the term barbarian has also been used as a way to name those populations and villages that during the 5th century rebelled against the Roman Empire and that with the passage of time would spread and spread to a large part of the European continent, for this reason, with the passage of time, everything that had any relation to these villages and towns was known as barbarian.
A barbarian peoples were given a classification by race, first white slaves, among whom were were located village Slovaks, Czechs, among others. Next were the non-slave whites, made up of the Germans and Gauls mainly. In third place the yellows were positioned, being the smoke and greedy who were grouped in this race.
As mentioned above, these peoples did not have very cordial relations with the Roman Empire, this may have been thanks to the various invasions that these peoples had to endure during the 3rd century AD, which is why the native people of these races were not considered as suitable to enter the army of Rome, however with the passage of time the need for troops forced the Romans to allow their entry, which facilitated their infiltration into the army and thanks to this the fall of the empire in its western part in the AD 476
