The author scrutinizes the political and diplomatic framework, and critically examines issues such as mutual influence on material culture and on warfare, reaching the conclusion that significant contact between Byzantium and the Avars can be proved up until 775.East Central and Eastern Europe in the Middle Ages, 450-1450 ;Volume 51.AvarsByzantine EmpireHistory527-1081Avars.949.502Kardaras Georgios1714769MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812882703321Byzantium and the Avars, 6th-9th century AD4108880UNINA
