W artykule przeanalizowano w jaki sposób podczas kryzysu III w. cesarze rzymscy wykorzystywali monety i medaliony do promowania ideologii dynastycznej i sukcesji rodu rządzącego. Numizmatyka rzymska rozszerza naszą wiedzę o niuansach polityki dynastycznej. Jej zwornikiem był cesarz; a dotyczyło to również postaci cesarzowej, dziedziców i przodków. Analiza świadectw numizmatycznych ukazuje mechanizmy konstruowania wizerunku jedności dynastycznej, harmonii w rodzinie cesarskiej oraz stabilności sukcesji w imperium rzymskim.

Roman numismatics expands our knowledge of the nuances of dynastic politics. The keystone was the emperor; it also concerned the figures of empresses, heirs and ancestors. The analysis of numismatic evidence shows the mechanisms of constructing an image of dynastic unity, harmony in the imperial family, and succession stability in the Roman Empire.

This paper aims to illustrate how the tradition of Basil I’s rise to power in the Vita Basilii includes elements typical of heroic myths, according to Joseph Campbell’s monomyth scheme. The study presented here will examine how the narrative contains features such as a call to adventure, a series of trials and a motive for return. Moreover, the study seeks to investigate how these universal elements of hero stories have been mythicised by literary devices such as the topoi, text composition, intertextual references or symbolic content coherent with the perception of the ideological role of the Byzantine rulers. Within this framework, the study will aim to explore the morphology of these narratives and reconsider some historical questions with the help of Mircea Eliade’s theory of myth. It will focus on the identity and legitimising functions of the story for Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus and assess its impact on the position of the Macedonian dynasty in the social order and the sphere of political activity.
