Really, Constantine (Pyrphyrogenitus) has a Greek first name? Stop manipulating facts. Many non-Greek and non-Latin peoples of the era adopted names of Latin and Greek origin, your theory doesn't hold, simple.
There are reasons other than 'ethnicity' as to why this occured, and this has been explained to you already so stop going in circles. If Heraclius comes from Heracles and means 'son of Heracles', it is still derived from a Christian viewpoint and not an "ethnic Greek" viewpoint. Care to address any of the other revealed lies you stated above which I asked of you in regards to the African Armenoid who re-introduced the Greek language? |
You are corrct in that he made the Greek language the official langaue since the majority of the populace in the Empire spoke Greek.Latin remained the language of law and titles the rest was all Greek by public demand my friend.

Constantine VII Porphyrogennetos or Porphyrogenitus, "the Purple-born" part of the Macedonian Dynasty....
|
And why wasn't he Greek are you referring to the Armenian connection of the dynasty?
Funny how you claim Heraclius and the Macedonian dynasty as Armenians yet they all spoke Greek conducted themsleves in a Greek manner.Why would they do that?Why wasn't the Dynasty called the Armenian Dynasty instead it's called the Macedonian one?If Macerdonian wasn't Greek why would they name it Macedonian? |
Also knowing how proud the Armenians are why would they adher to a foreign culture?Why also would they be allowed to become Emprerors when the split b/w the 2 churches happend around 600 A.D??

Lets look what I also found a comment by the Purple one..
Constantine VII Poryphorgenitus: " Quote: The Slavs of the province of Peloponnesus revolted in the days of the emperor Theophilus and his son Michael, and became independent, and plundered and enslaved and pillaged and burnt and stole. And in the reign of Michael, the son of Theophilus, the protospatharius Theoctistus, surnamed Bryennius, was sent as military governor to the province of Peloponnesus with a great power and force, vis., of Thracians and Macedonians and the rest of the western provinces, to war upon and subdue them." De Administrando Imperial, Constantine Porphyrogenitus, 50 |
Constantine VII was renowned for his abilities as a writer and scholar. He wrote, or had commissioned, the works De cerimoniis aulae byzantinae ("On Ceremonies"), describing the kinds of court ceremonies also described later in a more negative light by Liutprand of Cremona; De Administrando Imperio ("On the Administration of the Empire"), giving advice on running the empire internally and also how to fight external enemies; and a history of the Empire covering events following the death of the chronographer Theophanes the Confessor in 817. Amongst his historical works was a history eulogising the reign and achievements of his grandfather, Basil I. These books are insightful and are of immense interest to the historian, sociologist and anthropologist as a most useful source of information about nations neighbouring with Byzantium. They also offer a fine insight into the Emperor himself.
Mind you all his works were written in Greek not in Latin nor Armenian........ |

The language was NOT CALLED GREEK, THEY THEMSELVES CALLED IT [B]ROMEIKA(ROMAN)[/B], so please do not use a modern term and try to transfer it into th past to claim the past in that way. |
