When Justinian I became emperor in 527, he aimed to restore the Roman Empire's former glory, reform legal codes, and promote Christianity. He sought to reconquer lost territories in the West, notably parts of Italy and North Africa. Additionally, he commissioned the creation of the Corpus Juris Civilis, a comprehensive codification of Roman law. His reign also emphasized the construction of magnificent churches, including the Hagia Sophia, to strengthen the Christian faith.

Who took Justinian place after his death?

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.
