	Justinian I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Justinian was appointed consul in 521, and later as commander of the army of the east.
		Justinian was one of the first emperors to be depicted wielding the cross on the obverse of a coin.
		Justinian's religious policy reflected the imperial conviction that the unity of the Empire unconditionally presupposed unity of faith; and with him it seemed a matter of course that this faith could be only the Orthodox.

	Justinian I
		Justinian I was born in a small village called Tauresina[?] (Taor[?]) in Illyricum (near Uskup), in the Balkan peninsula, probably on May 11, 483.
		Justinian is mainly remembered for his judicial revolution which organised Roman law in a form and organic scheme that is still in use today and remains more or less unaltered in some countries today (apart from obvious adaptations).
		Justinian's religious policy was upheld by the imperial conviction that the unity of the empire unconditionally presupposed unity of faith; and with him it was a matter of course that this faith could be only the orthodox.

		Justinian was born in a small village called Tauresina (Taor) in Illyricum (near Skopje), in the Balkan peninsula, probably on May 11, 483 to Vigilantia, the sister of the highly esteemed General Justin, who rose from the ranks of the army to become emperor.
		Justinian would have in earlier times been unable to marry her because of her class, but he had passed a law allowing intermarriage between social classes.
		Justinian considered fleeing the capital, but remained in the city on the advice of Theodora, and Belisarius arrived to crush the rebellion a few days later.

	Justinian - Christianity Revealed - AskWhy! Publications
		Justinian’s uncle’s wife Euphemia, the Empress, though a simple uncultured country woman of barbarian origins deplored Justinian’s intention to marry a prostitute and forbade it on the grounds of its unlawfulness.
		Justinian could have picked any woman in the Empire, high class, cultured, modest, chaste, even virginal but it never seemed to occur to him that his choice of consort was shocking even in shocking times.
		Justinian’s character was contradictory because he was hugely ambitious and blessed with great energy and craftiness but was quarrelsome, especially over religious matters, mean, jealous, cowardly and two-faced, vacillating, greedy and callous.

	Roman Emperors - DIR Justinian
		Justinian and Theodora hoped for children; indeed years later Theodora was to ask for the prayers of Mar Saba that she might conceive, but the saint refused to beseech God on behalf of a Monophysite.
		Justinian respected his wife's beliefs; he promised her when she was on her deathbed in 548 that he would continue to protect the Monophysite heretics whom she sheltered in the palace of Hormisdas in Constantinople.
		In the midst of the plague of 542, Constantinople was shaken by an earthquake.

	Ataman Hotel - Justinianos
		Justinian's main doctrinal problem was the conflict between the orthodox view accepted at the Council of Chalcedon (451), that the divine and human natures coexist in Christ, and the Monophysite teaching that emphasized his divine nature.
		Justinian was a man of large views and great ambitions, of wonderful activity of mind, tireless energy, and an unusual grasp of detail.
		Justinian's legal work and the magnificent Great Church (as Hagia Sophia was called) have won him unending fame, and the literature, poetry, and philosophical achievements of his contemporaries bear witness to the outstanding quality of 6th-century civilization in the Eastern Roman Empire.

		Justinian also appoints a series of able (though not always scrupulous) senior legal and financial officials and gives primary command of his armies to the young general Belisarius.
		Justinian leaves his people with an ambivalent legacy: His re-conquest of much of the western empire from the Vandals and Goths, although impressive, was bought at the cost of much devastation - particularly in Italy.
		Justinian’s most unimpeachable and long-lasting contribution to Byzantine history remains his re-codification of Roman Law and the construction of the Great Church of Haghia Sophia.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Christendom
		Never was the papal power in Europe so great as in the years between the end of that war in 1122 and the great disaster of the Second Crusade.
		Henceforth, however, till the sixteenth; century, no great religious or monastic movement, common to Christendom, was provoked by the many moral and intellectual causes which led to the decline and fall of the medieval system and finally to the Reformation itself.
		The great popes of the past had had a share which can hardly be over-estimated in binding together Christian society and raising its moral level; it is not surprising that the diminished influence of the papacy is among the causes of the disintegration of Christendom.

	Justinian the Great, Emperor and Saint
		Justinian the Great, the Emperor and Saint, by Fr.
		Since it was under St. Justinian that Byzantine civilization reached its climax, and since the Orthodox Church honors this emperor (and his wife, the wonderful Theodora) as saints, it is fitting to have a book (more a “study” than a biography) which examines the spirituality of a great man and his great Christian civilization.
		George Florovsky in his essay, Christianity and Civilization,” says that Justinian’s reign “was the time when a Christian culture was conscientiously and deliberately being built and completed as a system….The magnificent Temple of Holy Wisdom, the great church of Sophia in Constantinople, will ever stand as a living symbol of this achievement.” Fr.

		Justinian seemed to know, by sheer memory, where every one of those potential obstructions lay, and he avoided them unerringly.
		Justinian even claimed that his blindness was an asset, in this regard, since it forced him to master the inner logic of his devices.
		Justinian, for all his brilliance, was ill-equipped by temperament to gauge the power of a popular rebellion.

	The Great Schism
		The Byzantines never forgot the ideals of Rome under Augustus and Trajan, and still regarded their Empire as in theory universal; but Justinian was the last Emperor who seriously attempted to bridge the gulf between theory and fact, and his conquests in the west were soon abandoned.
		He treated the legates with great deference, inviting them to preside at a council in Constantinople, which was to settle the issue between Ignatius and himself.
		Nicolas was a great reforming Pope, with an exalted idea of the prerogatives of his see, and he had already done much to establish an absolute power over all bishops in the west.

		When Justinian announced his intention to invade the Vandals in Africa and thus begin the reconquest of the Roman Empire, Constantinople revolted.
		Holed up in the palace, all of Justinian’s advisors counseled retreat by sea -- all but the Empress Theodora: "In a crisis like the present we have no time to argue whether a woman’s place is the home, and whether she ought to be meek and modest in the presence of the lords of creation.
		Its sway was very great and played no small part in the infrastructure of the powerful Byzantine Empire, which endured for over a millennium.

		Already in the reign of Tiberius II Constantinus in 581 Mauricius had defeated the Persian Great King Hormizdas IV after a four-year-long campaign.
		Mauricius was in touch with the Franks and permitted the patriarch John IV, the "Faster," to designate himself ecumenical patriarch, something which led to conflicts with Popes Pelagius and Gregory the Great.
		Gregory in vain begged the emperor not to allow John to assume this title, as such a move amounted to the emperor's non-recognition of the Pope.

		I like the idea of city walls used to only preserve population, this was not a time of great seiges, but of plundering and sacking, and you will do plenty of both.
		As the Barbarians, you get to rip up the arrogant Romans, sack their cities and forge the kingdoms that will one day be modern Europe.
