Abstract
The article examines the presence of imperial figures in the epigrammatic production of John Geometres, aiming at demonstrating that the poet wanted to use his poetry as an instrument to express his political ideas. In particular, the article aims at showing that even when Geometres is criticising an emperor, this cannot be interpreted as a critic towards the βασιλεία as an institution.
