Weren't they the Varangian Guard? |

Varangians came along several centuries later, under the emperors of the Macedonian dynasty.
The last Western Roman emperor was deposed in 476 AD. However, the Roman cultural and economic world survived well past that, and it would still have been intact during the period covered by the article (the 500s AD). The cultural and economic unity of the Mediterranean world was finally shattered by the Moslem conquests of the mid-600s. Grelber |
