Justinian I, the Byzantine Emperor from 527 to 565, exemplified absolute rule through his centralized authority and control over both political and religious matters. He sought to restore the Roman Empire's former glory, implementing reforms such as the Justinian Code, which codified laws and reinforced his power. His ambitious construction projects, including the Hagia Sophia, and his military campaigns to reclaim lost territories further solidified his status as an absolute ruler. Additionally, he claimed the divine right to rule, positioning himself as both a secular and spiritual leader.
