Who was justinian and what were his accomplishments?
Justinian I or the Great was Byzantine Emperor. He sought to restore the empire and recover the lost western empire. His generals defeated the Vandals (and restored Africa), the Ostrogoths (restoring Italy and Dalmatia) and regained most of southern Spain. This increased imperial revenues by 1 million solides, ushering an age of splendour which was ended by a plague (the Plague of Justinian) which took the empire into a period of decline that lasted 400 years. Justinian also started a great building programme and he rebuilt the famous Hagia Sophia. He commissioned the Corpus Iuris Civilis (Body of Civil Law; which was later dubbed the Justinian Code) the largest digest of Roman civil law ever made which gave Roman civil law more uniformity and later provided the foundation of civil laws in many modern countries. His reign is seen as a distinct epoch of the empire of the east.
