Did The Justinian Plague had little effect on society in the Roman Empire society due to the size and power of the Empire.?

No. The Plague of Justinian had a devastating effect. It was one of the worst epidemics in history and its social and economic impact has been compared to that of the Black Death. It has been estimated that in Constantinople 5,000 people a day died and 40% of its population was killed, and that 1/4 of the population of the empire died. Many farmers also died. Agricultural production dropped and the price of grain in Constantinople rocketed. The scarcity of labour led to a rise in wages. The revenues of the state decreased as tax receipts were affected. The plague also affected the army as soldiers also died. This gave an edge to the Ostrogoths who were fighting Justinian in Italy as he attempted to take Italy. The depletion in manpower led to recruitment of barbarian soldiers. It is also thought that the weakening in population and military terms contributed to the later loss of Justinian's conquests in the western Mediterranean. Spain was retaken by the Visigoths and the Arabs conquered North Africa. The Plague of Justinian ended the period of great prosperity which Justinian created in the earlier part of his rule and led to economic hardship and a decrease in population. The recovery from this took a long time. It also ended Justinian's ambitious programme of church building and public works construction
