The Byzantine Empire, under the rule of Emperor Justinian I from 527 to 565 AD, reconquered large areas of the Western Roman Empire. His military campaigns, led by generals like Belisarius, successfully reclaimed parts of North Africa, Italy, and the Iberian Peninsula. This period is often referred to as the "Justinian Reconquest," and it aimed to restore the Roman Empire's former glory, though much of the territory was eventually lost after his reign.
