Description

Explore how the Macedonian dynasty overcame its violent origins and transformed Byzantium into one of history's most glorious eras. This scholarly work examines the paradox of imperial succession in Byzantium, where 65 emperors were dethroned yet only 39 reigns ended peacefully. Delve into Michael Psellos's analysis of Basil I's assassination of Michael III and the dynasty's subsequent rise to power. The book investigates how imperial art, propaganda, and cultural representation helped secure loyalty and legitimacy despite the bloody regicide that founded the dynasty. Published by Routledge as part of the Studies in Byzantine Cultural History series, this academic examination reveals the sophisticated strategies Byzantine rulers employed to consolidate power and create lasting dynastic stability. Essential reading for historians, art historians, and anyone interested in Byzantine politics, succession, and the role of visual culture in maintaining imperial authority.
