This is a presentation of ongoing research concerning Byzantine pictorial calendars. The Byzantine personifications of the months are unique in that they represent scenes from everyday life – a milieu for which the artist could find inspiration from his own surroundings, and also be free from the formulated language of the religious images. With a point of departure in the sixth-century Argos mosaic, the author presents a series of images up to the 15th century, all of which display a Byzantine iconography.
