1. justinian the great

   Justinian I (; Latin: Iustinianus, Classical Latin: [i̯uːstiːniˈaːnʊs]; Greek: Ἰουστινιανός Ioustinianos; 482 – 14 November 565), also known as Justinian the Great, was the Byzantine emperor from 527 to 565. His reign is marked by the ambitious but only partly realized renovatio imperii, or "restoration of the Empire". This ambition was expressed by the partial recovery of the territories of the defunct Western Roman Empire. His general, Belisarius, swiftly conquered the Vandal Kingdom in North Africa. Subsequently, Belisarius, Narses, and other generals conquered the Ostrogothic kingdom, restoring Dalmatia, Sicily, Italy, and Rome to the empire after more than half a century of rule by the Ostrogoths. The praetorian prefect Liberius reclaimed the south of the Iberian peninsula, establishing the province of Spania. These campaigns re-established Roman control over the western Mediterranean, increasing the Empire's annual revenue by over a million solidi. During his reign, Justinian also subdued the Tzani, a people on the east coast of the Black Sea that had never been under Roman rule before. He engaged the Sasanian Empire in the east during Kavad I's reign, and later again during Khosrow I's reign; this second conflict was partially initiated due to his ambitions in the west. A still more resonant aspect of his legacy was the uniform rewriting of Roman law, the Corpus Juris Civilis, which is still the basis of civil law in many modern states. His reign also marked a blossoming of Eastern roman (Byzantine) culture, and his building program yielded works such as the Hagia Sophia.

1. justinian the great

   Justinian the Great, also known as Justinian I, was the Byzantine (Eastern Roman) Emperor from 527 to 565 AD. He is best known for his ambitious and far-reaching reforms, most significantly in the areas of law and architecture. His most notable accomplishment was his codification of Roman law, known as "Corpus Juris Civilis," which served as the basis of civil law systems in many Western countries. He also commissioned the construction of the Hagia Sophia, one of the most famous architectural achievements in history. Despite these achievements, his reign was also marked by hardships such as major rebellions and the devastating Plague of Justinian.
