Flavius Petrus

Sabbatius Iustinianus(Greek:

Φλάβιος Πέτρος Σαββάτιος Ιουστινιανός,

Phlābios Petros

Sabbatios

Ioustiniānos); AD 483 – 13 or 14 November 565, known in English as

Justinian I or Justinian the Great, was the second member of the

Justinian Dynasty

(after his uncle,

Justin I
)

and

Eastern Roman Emperor

from 527 until his death. He is considered a

saint
amongst

Eastern Orthodox Christians

, and is also commemorated by some

Lutheran Churches

;

at the other end of the scale, his contemporary,

Procopius
,

viewed Justinian as a cruel, venal, and incompetent ruler.

One of the most important figures of

Late Antiquity

, Justinian’s rule constitutes a distinct epoch in the history

of the

Eastern Roman Empire

. The impact of his administration extended far beyond

the boundaries of his time and empire. Justinian’s reign is marked by the

ambitious but ultimately failed renovatio imperii, or “restoration of the

empire”.

This ambition was expressed in the partial recovery of the territories of the

Western Roman Empire

, including the city of

Rome itself. A

still more resonant aspect of his legacy was the uniform rewriting of Roman law,

the

Corpus Juris Civilis

, which is still the basis of

civil law

in many modern states. His reign also marked a blossoming of

Byzantine culture, and his building programme yielded such masterpieces as the

church of

Hagia

Sophia
, which was to be the center of

Eastern Orthodox Christianity

for many centuries.

A devastating outbreak of

bubonic plague

(see

Plague of Justinian

) in the early 540s marked the end of an age of splendor.

The empire entered a period of territorial decline not to be reversed until the

ninth century.

Procopius

provides the primary source for the history of Justinian’s reign. The

Syriac

chronicle of

John of Ephesus

, which does not survive, was used as a source for later

chronicles, contributing many additional details of value. Both historians

became very bitter towards Justinian and his empress,

Theodora

. Procopius also wrote the

Anekdota

(the so-called Secret History), which reports on

various scandals at Justinian’s court. Other sources include the histories of

Agathias
,

Menander Protector

,

John

Malalas
, the

Paschal Chronicle

, the chronicles of

Marcellinus Comes

and

Victor of Tunnuna

.
