Abstract
Introduction. The new seal of proedros Theodoros Senachereim presents the oikeios of emperor Alexios I Komnenos (1081–1118), well-known from written sources. Analysis. The finds of seals of individual representatives of the Senachereim family (Atouemes, proedros; Abou Sahl, proedros and kouropalates; Constantine, proedros, kouropalates and doux; Sebatas, protospatharios and strategos of the Serbion; John; Kourtikios and Zoe, nun), including on the territory of Bulgaria, provide grounds to suppose that the latter were administratively related in some way to the Balkan themes of Byzantium and, apparently, to the main Bulgarian centers of the Byzantine influence. Results. Traditionally, it was considered that the Senachereim and other representatives of the Armenian elite in Asia Minor disappeared from the political scene in connection with the Seljuk conquest of these territories. However, thanks to the finds of seals of the Senachereim it is obvious that the family survives at least until the beginning of the 13th century.
