Porfirogennetos: Revizyonlar arasındaki fark

Kendisi de ''porphyrogénnētos'' olan [[VII. Konstantin]], ''[[De Ceremoniis|De Ceremoniis aulae byzantinaeByzantinae]]'' adlı çalışmasında ''porphyrogénnētos'' çocuğun doğumu sırasındaki törenleri anlatmıştır.<ref name=Oxf/>

The most distinctive condition was that the child be born in the "Πορφύρα" (''Porphýra'', the Purple or [[Porphyry (geology)|Porphyry]] Chamber, a free-standing [[pavilion]] of the [[Great Palace of Constantinople]]): no child born anywhere else could legitimately be called ''Porphyrogénnētos''. As the ''Porphyrogennētē'' [[Anna Komnena]] described it, the room rested on one of the Palace's many terraces, overlooking the [[Sea of Marmora]] and the [[Bosphorus Strait]], "where the stone oxen and the lions stand" (i.e. the [[Boukoleon Palace]]), and was in the form of a perfect square from floor to ceiling, with the latter ending in a [[pyramid]]. Its walls, floor and ceiling were completely veneered with imperial porphyry, which was "generally of a purple colour throughout, but with white spots like sand sprinkled over it."<ref>{{Citation |first=Anna |last=Comnena |title=The Alexiad |location=London |publisher=Penguin |year=2003 |pages=196, 219 |isbn=0-14-044958-2 }}.</ref>
