                      Romain Sklèros appartenait à l’une des plus célèbres lignées de l’Empire et fut lui-même
                      engagé dans les affaires politiques de son temps. Il fut proche de l’empereur Constantin Monomaque qui avait
                      pris sa soeur, Marie, pour maîtresse et qui lui offrit des postes de commandement de premier ordre : il fut ainsi un
                      temps duc d’Antioche et c’est sous ce règne qu’il obtint la dignité de proèdre, très élevée à cette date. Il participa
                      à la rébellion victorieuse d’Isaac Comnène en 1057, qui le promut sans doute curopalate.
                      Le cumul des charges est rare sans être exceptionnel. Romain Sklèros était établi dans les Anatoliques,
                      mais il était aussi accompagné des troupes d’élite du <hi rend="italic">tagma</hi> des Scholes d’Occident. Une seconde fois, orné du
                      titre de proèdre comme sur notre bulle, Romain Sklèros cumula une charge locale, celle de duc d’Antioche, avec
                      le commandement de <hi rend="italic">tagmata</hi>, comme stratopédarque d’Anatolie [1].
