• Born: Between 890 and 900, Byzantium
• Married: 921

  Research Notes:

Theophanes Continuatus names "Romanus Argyrus ducis…eiusque frater Leo" during the account of the war with Bulgaria (in 918). Cedrenus names "Romanus et Leo Argyri filii". His birth date range is estimated from his marriage date. A later passage in Theophanes Continuatus names "Romanum…Leonis filium" when recording his marriage, which suggests that "frater" in the earlier passage was an error for "pater". From a chronological point of view, it appears more likely that Romanos was the son of Leon rather than his brother. ¹
