Justinian I (or the Great) did not play any role whatsoever in the decline of the Byzantine Empire. His reign is seen as a distinct period of Byzantine history by historians. It was a period of conquest, splendour, great prosperity, important public works, administrative and religious reforms and imperial unity.
Towards the end of Justinian's rule the empire was hit by a severe plague which was one of the biggest in history. It has been called by historians the Plague of Justinian. Is impact on the empire has been compared to that of the Black Death of the Middle Ages. It probably affected the whole of Europe. It has been estimated that one quarter of the population died. The empire took a long time to recover.
