In her book 'Barbarian or Greek?: The Charge of Barbarism and Early Christian Apologetics',
Stamenka Antonova examines different aspects of the charge of barbarism in the Greek
and Latin Christian apologetic texts (2-4th centuries) and the various responses to
it by the early Christians. The author demonstrates that the charge of barbarism encompasses
a broad range of meanings, such as low social class, inadequate education, immorality,
criminal activity, political treason, as well as foreign ethnicity and language. In
addition to contextualizing the charge of barbarism in ancient rhetorical practices,
the author also applies literary criticism and post-colonial theory to shed light
on the concept of the barbarian as an ideological-rhetorical tool for othering, marginalization
and persecution in the Roman Empire
