Abstract
An investigation of the roles of late antique visual and literaryexemplars in Byzantine court culture of the ninth and tenth centuries.Three modes of memory are detected: the appropriative, theinterpretative, and the sequential. Each can be seen at work in the timeof Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus, although this reign represents theculmination rather than the origin of the renovatio hitherto attributedto his sponsorship. Instead of personal patronage, a model couched interms of cultural needs is proposed.
