The Emperor who brought the grandeur of the Roman Empire

On November 14, 565 the Byzantine Emperor Justinian ceased to exist.

Justinian was born in 482 in the village of Tauresium, a village near Justiniana Prima in the prefecture of Iliria. His family of peasants was Latin, and Justinian was the grandson of the future Emperor Justin I, who after the 470th military career in the army of emperor Leon I of the Eastern Roman Empire (457-474).

Justinian became king in 527. Justinian's dream was to rebuild the Roman Empire (Christianity) by uniting the two empires, the sunset and the east. He succeeded in part through his general Belisarie who conquered the Italica Peninsula and northern Africa. The military and financial difficulties of conquering Italy, begun by Belisarie and concluded by Narses (another general), have not had a long-lasting effect. In 568, the arrival of the Longobars there destroyed Justinian's work.

The most important domestic event was Nika's revolt in Constantinople. Justinian's opponents proclaimed another emperor, Hepatius, the nephew of the former emperor Anastasiu I. While Justinian saw the situation as lost, his wife, emperor Teodora, a former circus artist, opposed the withdrawal from the capital. Through the negotiations with Narses with the rebels and the surprising attack of Belisarie with the loyal troops of the Emperor in the racetrack, where the revolts gathered, the rebellion was quenched.

One of the greatest achievements of Justinian is the codification of Roman law started in 529. Justinian attempted to revitalize the Romanian society, which was at the last stage of the decomposition, through a huge work of systematization of classical and post-classical law, so that it could be applied to the realities of the sixth century in the Roman Empire.
