There is a brief mention of a certain Iamblichus in the Romana, a treatise on Roman history by Jordanes. Judging from the place Iamblichus holds in the structure of the Romana, we can safely assume that he must have been important to Jordanes and his views. Because no known author can be identified with him, we must turn our attention to all known bearers of that name. There is, in fact, only one Iamblichus who can be seriously considered: a physician living in Constantinople in the mid-6th century. He is known only through a poem (Anthologia Graeca, XVI,272) by Leontios, a lawyer who also lived in the mid-6th century Constantinople. According to him, this Iamblichus taught “wisdom”, which seems to mean educational lectures for general public. Leontios emphasizes that Iamblichus never took money for his teaching. While exact identification of Jordanes’ Iamblichus remains elusive, he may very well have been a Greek-speaking, erudite doctor (and – judging by the name – a Syrian), who taught Jordanes at some point during the first half of the 6th century.

The article seeks to present the dynamics of the development of the image of the Gepid tribe in ancient and early medieval sources. For our analysis, we used Roman and Byzantine sources dating from the 3rd to 7th centuries.. The topic was handled in points discussing the three basic aspects of how the Gepids were perceived and presented: their manner of fighting (bravery, cruelty and using a sword as specific combat tactics), the kinship between the Gepids and the Goths, the hardness of their character, their slow movements and the infantry style of fighting (as opposed to horse fighting used by other peoples). The article presents both the above-mentioned basic elements of the tribe’s image, the changes in its perception, and the development of this image, which has gradually gained new elements derived from various traditions.

Celem artykułu jest prezentacja dynamiki rozwoju obrazu plemienia Gepidów w źródłach antycznych i wczesnośredniowiecznych. W analizie zostały wykorzystane źródła rzymskie i bizantyjskie z okresu III-VII w. Temat został zrealizowany w punktach omawiających trzy zasadnicze elementy ich postrzegania i prezentacji: cechy związane z prowadzonymi walkami (waleczność, okrucieństwo oraz posługiwanie się mieczem, jako szczególna taktyka walki); pokrewieństwo Gepidów z Gotami; ociężałość ich charakteru, powolność ruchów i pieszy styl walki (w odróżnieniu od walki konnej innych ludów). Artykuł przedstawia zarówno wymienione zasadnicze elementy obrazu plemienia, jaki i przemiany jego postrzegania oraz rozwój obrazu, który stopniowo wzbogacał się o nowe elementy czerpane z różnych tradycji.
