A pesar de su relevancia diplomática, el eunuco ha sido objeto de muy escasa atención por parte de la historiografía dedicada a la Antigüedad Tardía en la Pars Orientis del Imperio.This paper is framed within the Investigation project PGC2018-099798-B-I00 (Heterotopias de la autoridad y de la sacralidad en el Mediterráneo cristiano tardoantiguo) funded by the Ministry of University of the Spanish GovernmentUniversidad de SevillaUniversidad de Cantabria20222022-01-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501NAhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_be7fb7dd8ff6fe43info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://hdl.handle.net/10902/28002Habis, 2022, (53), 145-163reponame:UCrea Repositorio Abierto de la Universidad de Cantabriainstname:Universidad de Cantabria (UC)Inglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:repositorio.unican.es:10902/280022026-06-02T12:39:31Z
