metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is concerned with the formation of the Frankish political organization in the context
  of adopting the Romanic and Byzantine identity. It has been suggested that the main
  factors of the Romanization of the ancient Franks be considered not only the commonly used
  trading and economic system along the defensive structures limes, but also the practice of
  providing lex foedus by the western Roman emperors. Federalization principles of relations
  between the autochthonous Romans and barbarians contributed to the formation of separate
  political structures (“chiefdoms” or “early medieval barbarian kingdoms”) of the Ostrogoths,
  the Burgundians, the Vandals, the Alans, the Visigoths. The ancient Franks were less affected
  by the principles of federalism, but they adopted the structures of the Visigoths and the
  Burgundians. Maneuvering between two parties, Emperors Zeno (476–491) and Anastasius
  (491–518) achieved recognition of their suzerainty over the majority of the barbarian kingdoms
  in the Great Mediterranean region. However, this recognition was too ephemeral and, in
  the end, did not lead to the revival of fully valid East Roman (Pars Oriens) power in all western
  provinces (Pars Occidens). The article describes the genesis of the Frankish political eminency,
  suggests a fresh approach to the problem of the legal status of Domain of Soissons (Gall-Roman
  Domain), analyzes the geopolitical competition of the Frank Clovis (481–511) and the
  Ostrogoth Theodoric the Amal (489–526). All these problems, well-known among the medievalists,
  are presented in the original political science and legal interpretation.
