Greetings all,
Today we reflect on the life of Emperor Romanos I Lekapenos who passed in exile on on June 15th in 948 AD:
He was one
of the few who became emperor by suffering a major military defeat! He
turned out to be a competent ruler however, seeking peace where he could
and protecting small farmers from wealthy landowners. He had 9
children and through them left a large extended family legacy of many
emperors and empresses.
-Marcus Cassius Julianus
