 Roman Emperors - DIR Sophia
Sources for the reign of Justin II and Sophia are in general unfavourable, not least because the imperial couple instituted a persecution of monophysites throughout the empire (monophysites were considered heretics, in as much as they believed that Christ had only one nature, and that divine).
The keynote to Sophia's perception of her status is struck by her adoption of the official title Aelia, the title given to empresses of the Theodosian house and their successors Verina, Ariadne and Zenonis, and which Euphemia and Theodora had dropped.
Sophia was also the first empress whose portrait was shown on coins alongside that of the emperor, and was depicted from the first year of Justin's reign on the folleis, copper coins used in the day-to-day transactions of the empire.

Empress Wang was allegedly identified to be near the child's room by eyewitnesses.
Empress Wu died nine months later, perhaps consoled by the fact that her nephew Wu Sansi, son of her half-brother and as ambitious and intriguing as she, had managed to become the real master behind the scenes, controlling the restored emperor through his empress consort with whom he was having an affair.
Considering the events of her life literary allusions to Empress Wu can carry several connotations: a woman who has inappropriately overstepped her bounds, the hypocrisy of preaching compassion while simultaneously engaging in a pattern of corrupt and vicious behavior, and ruling by pulling strings in the background.
