INDEX

In the Index, as throughout the book, familiar forms of names have been given where they exist;
otherwise, the forms as given in PLRE have been used. Greek and Persian names have been
Anglicised. The terms ‘Ostrogoth’ and ‘Visigoth’ have been retained for convenience, though it
should be recalled that these are Byzantine labels, and were not used within the respective kingdoms
for self-identification.
