The Justinian plague affected the Roman Empire from 541-542 AD. The Bubonic plague or the black death name was not used by that time but historians are sure that it is the same thing.

The Justinian Plague, which struck the Byzantine Empire in the 6th century, had a profound impact, leading to significant population decline, estimated to be as high as 25-50%. This demographic crisis weakened the empire's military and economic capacity, disrupting trade and agriculture. Additionally, the plague contributed to social unrest and a decline in public health infrastructure, ultimately exacerbating the empire's vulnerabilities and hastening its long-term decline.
No. The Plague of Justinian had a devastating effect. It was one of the worst epidemics in history and its social and economic impact has been compared to that of the Black Death. It has been estimated that in Constantinople 5,000 people a day died and 40% of its population was killed, and that 1/4 of the population of the empire died. Many farmers also died. Agricultural production dropped and the price of grain in Constantinople rocketed. The scarcity of labour led to a rise in wages. The revenues of the state decreased as tax receipts were affected. The plague also affected the army as soldiers also died. This gave an edge to the Ostrogoths who were fighting Justinian in Italy as he attempted to take Italy. The depletion in manpower led to recruitment of barbarian soldiers. It is also thought that the weakening in population and military terms contributed to the later loss of Justinian's conquests in the western Mediterranean. Spain was retaken by the Visigoths and the Arabs conquered North Africa. The Plague of Justinian ended the period of great prosperity which Justinian created in the earlier part of his rule and led to economic hardship and a decrease in population. The recovery from this took a long time. It also ended Justinian's ambitious programme of church building and public works construction
Justinian I or the Great was Byzantine Emperor. He sought to restore the empire and recover the lost western empire. His generals defeated the Vandals (and restored Africa), the Ostrogoths (restoring Italy and Dalmatia) and regained most of southern Spain. This increased imperial revenues by 1 million solides, ushering an age of splendour which was ended by a plague (the Plague of Justinian) which took the empire into a period of decline that lasted 400 years. Justinian also started a great building programme and he rebuilt the famous Hagia Sophia. He commissioned the Corpus Iuris Civilis (Body of Civil Law; which was later dubbed the Justinian Code) the largest digest of Roman civil law ever made which gave Roman civil law more uniformity and later provided the foundation of civil laws in many modern countries. His reign is seen as a distinct epoch of the empire of the east.

The plague of Justinian is believed to be the first recorded instance of the bubonic plague. The symptoms include necrosis of the hand, and swollen lymph glands. As the disease got worse, the lymph nodes could hemorrhage and become necrotic.
