Περίληψη:	The narration of a brief parable in the Short History of Nikephoros presents a criminal case to show that two ideal imperial qualities, justice and philanthropy, were key features of governance during the reign of Herakleios. The story was about the punishment of a group of slaves and a high official, their master, by whose order they killed the son of a widow in a quarrel. Nikephoros aimed to outline various aspects of the episode, related to the emperor’s justice and his active intervention in the political and social issues and their projection in the public space such as the Hippodrome of Constantinople. Imperial intervention, on the one hand, concerned the administration of justice and the protection of a vulnerable woman, such as the widow, which is a common motif in similar narratives adopted by the Byzantine chronographers. On the other hand, the intervention of the emperor and the actions undertaken by his orders reflected the skepticism of the author about the transient changes of Byzantine law from the time of the Isaurian emperors in the early ninth century. The emperor’s and the prefect’s presence at the Hippodrome of Constantinople turned this turbulent public space into a place of justice. The didactic nature of the narration and the description of the events in high style as also the use of legal terminology were conscious choices of Nikephoros to show the correctness of his views on the state organization and the ideal behavior of the emperor. Thus, he stressed that the legitimacy of the emperor’s power deserved recognition when the administration of justice could be secured, a particularly crucial agent for the circumstances of his time.
