Justinian I (also known as 'Justinian the Great') is perhaps the most well known of all Byzantine (Eastern Roman) Emperors. His reign lasted from 527 - 565 CE. Due to his reign being between the fall of the Western Roman Empire (thus signaling the end of Antiquity) and the Middle Ages, Justinian has been called "the last of the Romans". His reign and life are very eventful as he embarked upon a series of legal reforms where he helped create the Corpus Juris Civilis (Body of Law) that formed the basis of the Byzantine legal system.
Justinian also embarked upon a campaign to recapture territories that had once belonged to the Western Roman Empire. His gains included North Africa, parts of Spain, Italy, Sicily, Corsica and Sardina.
Justinian also embarked upon a building campaign that included the building of the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople. Justinian's life is a very interesting one, with his wife Theodora's being just as interesting, if not more.

Theodora died Justinian was distraught. Justinian and Theodora were very close. Theodora was a close adviser and the two of them collaborated on many things. Theodora had saved Justinian's rule by arguing for refusing to flee during a riot. However they differed on matters of religion. Justinian supported mainstream Orthodox Christianity, while she supported a dissident doctrine. This created conflict on these matters and Justinian often obstructed Theodora. However, her influence was so strong that when she died, Justinian worked on reconciling the two doctrines and kept his promise to protect the monastery Theodora built as a refuge for the dissident Christians.
