Since its appearance in the Black Sea steppes fought the Avarsantamy because land was the last outpost of sedentary farmers on the border withsteppe. This struggle was long and tiring. Last mention of the Antscontained in the Byzantine chronicles of 602 was Inthis year Khan (prince) VII sent his army into the ground and ordered Antsconsume them as allies, the Byzantines. After that the population remains antskohocrossed the Danube and settled in the Byzantine lands. North of the Antssklavynamy integrated with and participated in the formation preUkrainiancommunity.
During the reign of Emperor Heraclius (610-641 years) ByzantiumAvars used to fight sklavynamy to stop their migrationon their land.
