During Byzantine diplomacy which effect resulted from perceived 'barbarian' emissaries lacking imperial symbols?

💡 Explanation

Reduced treaty enforceability occurred, initiated by declining authority. The emissaries lacked power granted from imperial symbols, because these visuals were perceived as validating official agreements via symbolic representation. This erodes trust, therefore undermines compliance to established treaties rather than strengthening its position, particularly regarding trade or funding.
