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. 410 0$aEast Central and Eastern Europe in the Middle Ages, 450-1450$v51. 606 $aAvars 607 $aByzantine Empire$xHistory$y527-1081 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAvars. 676 $a949.5/013 700 $aKardaras$b Geo?rgios Th.$01066119 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910512000903321 996 $aByzantium and the Avars, 6th-9th century ad$92548627 997 $aUNINA
