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.

Justinian I was succeeded by Justin II. During his reign the empire lost Italy, which was invaded by the Lombards, and there were wars with the Persians in which the Persians overrun Syria and captured the city of Dara.
