Justinian's reign was marked by the ambitious (but ultimately failed) Renovatio Imperii, or "restoration of the empire". The achievement of this ambition came in the form of the partial recovery of the territories of the Western Roman Empire, including the city of Rome itself. He also rewrote Roman law, the 'Corpus Juris Civilis', which is still the basis of civil law in many modern states. His reign marked the blossoming of Byzantine culture, and his building program yielded such masterpieces as the church of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople, which became the center of Eastern Orthodox Christianity for many centuries. He outlawed all religions except Christianity, which he saw as the upcoming popular religion, and which he wanted to align himself with as a major supporter. He was very savvy about politics and the people, and he made sure he remained one step ahead of his enemies.
