Theodora, the wife of Emperor Justinian I, played a crucial role in the Byzantine Empire by influencing political decisions and promoting women's rights. She was a key advisor to Justinian and was instrumental in quelling the Nika Riots in 532 AD, ensuring the stability of his reign. Her advocacy for social reforms, such as laws against forced prostitution and greater rights for women, left a lasting impact on Byzantine society. Theodora's strong leadership and support for her husband's policies helped solidify their rule and shaped the future of the empire.

His uncle was Justin I. He ruled with him as co-emperor of the Byzantine Empire, until his death. After Justin I died, Justinian was the full emperor of the empire. Jusitnian had a wife named Theodora, who became a very powerful woman in the empire's history. They did not have kids together, and I am not sure of any other family of his.
Justinian was a Byzantine Emperor, considered its greatest, and he brought the empire near to the former heights of the old Roman Empire.
