To reunite the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches...now that is the right answer :)
Justinian I, the Byzantine Emperor from 527 to 565, aimed to restore the Roman Empire's former glory by reclaiming lost territories and consolidating its influence. He sought to unify the empire under a centralized government and promote legal reform, best exemplified by the "Code of Justinian," which systematized Roman law. Additionally, he focused on strengthening the economy and enhancing the cultural and architectural achievements of the empire, including the construction of the Hagia Sophia.
Justinian I's major goal during his reign was to unify and strengthen the Byzantine Empire, particularly through the promotion of Christianity as a unifying force. He sought to establish a centralized and cohesive state under the authority of the emperor, which included the codification of Roman law and the construction of monumental churches, such as Hagia Sophia. His efforts also included the suppression of heretical beliefs and the promotion of orthodoxy to ensure religious uniformity across the empire.
Territorially the East Roman, or Byzantine, Empire was at its height at the end of the reign of the Emperor Justinian I (527 - 565 A.D.). Called "The Great", Justinian presided over an aggressive foreign policy; the chief goal of which was to restore to Imperial rule the lost territories of the Western Roman Empire. Largely due to the extraordinary talents of his two principal generals, Belisarius and Narsus, North Africa, Sicily, Italy, southern Spain were recovered. However, Justinian's policies left the empire overstretched and bankrupt. After his death, most of Italy was lost to the Lombards; who took advantage of the Byzantines lack of support amongst the Italian population. Militarily, the Byzantine Empire was at its height in the first decades of the 11th century A.D., during the reign of the emperor Basil II ("The Bulgar Slayer"). His reign was the culmination of 150 years of active and largely successful campaigning by the soldier-emperors of the Macedonian Dynasty; which included Basil I, Nikephoros Phocus, and John Tzimiskes. The Macedonians left the Byzantine Empire with secure borders along the Danube in the north; Armenia in the east; and the Euphrates River in the south.
