		The riots breaking out first in the Hippodrome, and known in history as "the Nika riots" (Nika meaning "to conquer"), soon spread out to the entire city.The fire breaking out during the ensuing tumult, caused Hagia Sophia to burn down.
		This second Hagia Sophia, the remains of which we see today, was burned down during the Nika riots.
		We find out from Procopius, the Byzantine historian of the period, that as soon as the rioting mob were put to the sword, Emperor Justinian took steps to build an edifice that would be entirely different from its earlier models, but would be a more majestic and gigantic temple ever built up to that time.

		At this time [January 1, 532] an insurrection broke out unexpectedly in Byzantium among the populace, and, contrary to expectation, it proved to be a very serious affair, and ended in great harm to the people and to the senate, as the following account will show.
		Now the watch-word which the populace passed to one another was Nika [i.e., "Conquer"].
		But they feared that the people would force them to the throne (as in fact fell out), and they said that they would be doing wrong if they should abandon their sovereign when he found himself in such danger.

		Ordinary people were Christian and fiercely orthodox: Justinian's lavish rebuilding of Constantine's Haghia Sophia Church was aimed at earning popular support after the Nika riots of 532.
		But while street-level popularity was won by shows of Christian zeal, the wealthy Byzantine bureaucracy hid a matrix of pagan sympathizers.
		By October 532, as the Nika riots receded into the past, Justinian felt more secure on the throne and John the Cappadocian was reinstated as Prefect.

		I could hardly catalogue all the other people whose estates these two chose to inherit.
		However, up to the time when the insurrection named Nika took place, they seized rich men's properties one at a time; but when that happened, as I have told elsewhere, they sequestrated at one swoop the estates of nearly all the members of the Senate.
		On everything movable and on the fairest of the lands they laid their hands and kept what they wanted; but whatever was unproductive of more than the bitter and heavy taxes, they gave back to the previous owners with a philanthropic gesture.
