In the 6th century, the Byzantine Emperor Justinian won back many of the lands that had once been part of the Roman Empire. Under him, the Byzantine empire was larger than it would ever be again. Justinian's dream was to create a great Christian empire. With the help of his wife, Theodora, he set up a new system of laws, and gave orders for many churches to be built. Priests, artists and merchants all visited his palace.
(By the year 400, the Roman Empire had split into two parts. The Empire in the west was attacked by warlike tribes and collapsed in the year 476, but the Empire in the east survived for another thousand years. The eastern Empire was known as the Byzantine Empire because its capital city, Constantinople, was originally called Byzantium. The capital city of Byzantine was named after the empire Constantine.)
