! scope=col width="7%" | Portrait{{Efn|Most of miniature portraits used for the 9th to 11th centuries are not contemporary, but taken from the 12th-century ''[[Madrid Skylitzes]]''. The portrait of [[Nikephoros I]] is taken from the ''[[Manasses Chronicle]]'' ({{circa}}&nbsp;1345), while the portrait of [[Nikephoros II]] is taken from a 15th-century miniature of uncertain origin. All of these portraits are almost certainly imaginary. The 15th-century ''[[Mutinensis gr. 122]]'' is used for some 11th-century emperors with no surviving portrait, although these are probably imaginary as well.|name=Madrid}}
