THE CAESARS MIGHT AND MADNESS

THE CAESARS MIGHT AND MADNESS
Justinian the Great
SS 307

After the western portion of the Roman Empire collapsed, the old Roman provinces were ruled by a variety of barbarian tribes. However, the Eastern Empire remained strong/intact due to its impregnable capital, Constantinople. Justinian began his reign (527 - 565) with an ambitious agenda to re conquer the lost western territories. In addition, he built the Hagia Sophia, the greatest Christian cathedral in the world.
