grbs-4231	Inoue, Koichi	A Provincial Aristocratic Oikos in Eleventh-Century Byzantium	1989	25	.pdf	application/pdf	10744	535	59	»s In accounting for the military power of these aristocrats, we find that most of them-commanders or ex-commanders of the imperial troops stationed in the provinces-also had private armies: Katakalon Kekaumenos joined Isaak's rebellion with his own [armyr as well as two Roman tagmata (Skylitzes 491). The primary aim of this article is to examine the oikos of provincial aristocrats in the eleventh century, as described in Part Three of the Strategikon of Kekaumenos (ca 1070); these oikoi, I shall argue, provided the foundation of their owners' power and self-confidence during the military rebellions typical of this period.	cache/grbs-4231.pdf	txt/grbs-4231.txt
