barbarian's

Uncivilized warrior's possession

Barbarian's is the possessive form of barbarian—a person from an uncivilized or foreign culture, or someone crude and unrefined.

The word carries connotations of brutishness and lack of sophistication: a barbarian's table manners, the barbarian's sword.

In historical contexts, barbarian referred to outsiders from the perspective of Greeks and Romans.
