But be that as it may, the very phantom of Antony as a Roman still has a certain relativity. And the point here is not only in the textual "reality" of this character, but precisely in the fact that real (albeit for the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, although earlier examples are known) Russian-Italian encounters at the character level were encoded in the Tale by an equally real sign — Anthony the Roman. It is impossible not to appreciate the goodwill of the author, who made this meeting good and showed what needs to be done to make it so.
