      The text reflects on the presence in the Patria Constantinopolitana of oracles and prophecies, now connected to the monumental emergencies of the Nea Rome (as happens in the Parastaseis Syntomoi chronichai), now evoked symbolically, but always connected to astronomical events or climatic phenomena, interpreted as negative omens for the capital of the East and for its empire or, on the contrary, seen as reassuring signs of the eternity of Constantinople and its predestination to triumph over its enemies by virtue of divine favor and the fact of being the “new Jerusalem”. Calamitous events or particular astral conjunctures are reinterpreted in the light of the historical situation and the events of the Eastern Empire and give rise, in the stories of the patriographers, to horaseis (visions) and chresmòi (oracles) destined to reach a composite and stratified public, which included the common man and the refined intellectual.

The proposed contribution intends to investigate a similar cultural approach and highlight its constitutive characteristics, as indicators of a complex man-nature relationship, typical of the medieval world. ; Il testo riflette sulla presenza nei Patria Costantinopolitana di oracoli e profezie, ora collegati alle emergenze monumentali della Nea Rome (come avviene nelle Parastaseis Syntomoi chronichai), ora evocati simbolicamente, ma sempre connessi a eventi astronomici o a fenomeni climatici, interpretati come presagi negativi per la capitale d’Oriente e per il suo impero o, al contrario, visti come segnali rassicuranti dell’eternità di Costantinopoli e della sua predestinazione a ...
