	Theodora (6th century) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Theodora was born into the lowest class of Byzantine society, the daughter of Acacius, a bearkeeper for the circus.
		In 523 Theodora married Justinian, the magister militum praesentalis in Constantinople.
		Theodora also advocated the rights of married women to commit adultery, and the rights of women to be socially serviced, helping to advance protections and delights for them; and was also something of a voice for prostitutes and the downtrodden.

		Theodora was jealous of his influence and with the help of her friends, particularly her crony, Antonina, the wife of Belisarius, she set a trap for him and he fell into it.

		In order to perpetuate her power she purposely neglected her son's education, and therefore must be held responsible for the voluptuous character which he developed under the influence of his uncle Bardas.

		By her firm administration she controlled the unruly nobles and checked numerous abuses; but she marred her reputation by excessive severity towards private enemies and the undue employment of menials for advisers.
