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.

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.

Theodora died Justinian was distraught. Justinian and Theodora were very close. Theodora was a close adviser and the two of them collaborated on many things. Theodora had saved Justinian's rule by arguing for refusing to flee during a riot. However they differed on matters of religion. Justinian supported mainstream Orthodox Christianity, while she supported a dissident doctrine. This created conflict on these matters and Justinian often obstructed Theodora. However, her influence was so strong that when she died, Justinian worked on reconciling the two doctrines and kept his promise to protect the monastery Theodora built as a refuge for the dissident Christians.

There were several factors that contributed to the decline of the Byzantine military. These included constant wars and conflicts that drained resources, frequent changes in leadership and political instability, the rise of powerful enemies such as the Seljuks and Ottomans, and a decline in the quality of the military education and training system. Additionally, the reliance on foreign mercenaries weakened the effectiveness and cohesion of the Byzantine army.
