Greetings all,
Today we celebrate the life of Emperor Constantine VII who passed on this day - November 9th in 959 AD:
He was one of the most learned Emperors, and the author of four books: De Administrando Imperio, De Ceremoniis, and De Thematibus . His De Ceremoniis gives us nearly all of what we know about the Royal Court of Constantinople and its ceremonies.
-Marcus Cassius Julianus
