History

Which risk increased within Byzantine diplomacy when dealing with nomadic Turkic tribes?

A)Loss of imperial trade routes
B)Undermining imperial legitimacy abroad
C)Violating established treaty obligations
D)Unforeseen escalation of tribute payments

💡 Explanation

Unforeseen tribal consolidation resulted in a ratchet effect on demanded subsidies because strategic signalling was ineffective without mutual communication; therefore tribunes inflated their prices, rather than maintaining long-term diplomatic equilibria with Byzantium initially.
