Abstract

The modest personal history of Basil I offers a contrast with the greatness of his government from the throne of Constantinople. An adequate foreign and internal policy and his concern for the upbringing of his children established the foundations for the consolidation of the Macedonian dynasty and strengthened the imperial position in the international sphere. The admonition speech dedicated to his heir, Leon, inserted in the rhetorical tradition of the “Mirrors for Princes” is one of the main sources for the study of political theory in that period and of byzantine history in general. The description of his arrival to the throne and the government of Basil I, the problem of authorship of his parenethical speech and the main streams of his political theory are the principal themes presented in this article.
