Talk:Leo VI the Wise

message: Leo Grammaticus in Patrologia Graeca (ed. J.P.Migne) is NOT the emperor. Someone please correct this one. Dipa1965 (talk) 16:49, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Leo Grammaticus redirects here but this is wrong

message: Surely the Tactica, an early 10th-century military handbook ascribed to Leo, should be added to the page. Urselius (talk) 12:42, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tactica 

message: Someone can tell me, why his name Imperator Caesar Leo Augustus is last in List of Roman consuls? He is last Roman Emperor with Latin name, or what?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.77.94.33 (talk) 11:03, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question 

message: Currently, the article categorically states that Leo's father was Basil I, citing Charanis's The Armenians in the Byzantine Empire (1963) and Ostrogorsky's History of the Byzantine State (1969). However, more recent authors (Treadgold's A history of the Byzantine state and society (1997) and Norwich's Byzantium: The Apogee (1993)) claim that he was (or at least he believed himself to be) the son of Michael III. Kazhdan, on the other hand (The Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium (1991)) states that he was Basil's son. Should the article reflect this uncertainty, or is there a more recent consensus among Byzantine scholars about his parentage? Oatley2112 (talk) 04:47, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Interestingly enough, Adontz and later Charanis and Ostrogorsky thought that, by their time, the rumor had been put to rest and that Leo was indeed Basil's son and their beliefs were quoted in that regard. Treadgold's and Kazhdan's opinions are important (especially the latter, who was an authority on the matter), but I'm a little less certain of Norwich, whose books are more a popular and uncritical narrative of Byzantine history. --Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 18:41, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Shouldn’t Augustus be added to his Title? He used Augustus on his Coins, seals and even introduced himself with it in his Taktika without Basileus.
“ In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, the holy, consubstantial, and worshipful Trinity, our one and only true God, Leo, peaceful autokrator in Christ, faithful, pious, ever revered Augustus.”
Just seems weird to me not include Augustus and is kinda of why people think the title was completely  dropped with Heraclius. Byzantium is Rome (talk) 07:55, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
