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.

Did the ottoman empire end the Roman empire?

The Ottoman Empire did not directly end the Roman Empire, as the Western Roman Empire had already fallen in 476 AD, long before the rise of the Ottomans. The Eastern Roman Empire, or Byzantine Empire, continued until the Ottomans captured Constantinople in 1453. This conquest marked the end of the Byzantine Empire and solidified the Ottoman Empire's dominance in the region. Thus, while the Ottomans played a significant role in the fall of the Byzantine Empire, they did not end the Roman Empire in its entirety.
