La guerra y la paz en la política y en el pensamiento de los bizantinos
Keywords:
Byzantine diplomacy, Payments to Allies and to Enemies, Byzantine State territoryAbstract
The Byzantine state inherited Rome’s political legacy and territory and invested all its available strength in safeguarding it at any cost. However the Byzantine government was always aware that the war was the absolutely worse option in dealing with enemies. Peace, usually «bought» with cash payments or other, territorial or honorary offers to the adversaries had of course also its cost, both financial and political. But it was seen as the better option. Thus the war was the ultima ratio.
