The importance of Justinian’s rule
Justinian was emperor of the Eastern Roman empire between 527–565. He is important because during his rule:
- the empire experienced an extraordinary resurgence, reconquering lands - including Italy, North Africa and Rome itself - that had been lost to the 'barbarians' a century before.
- Roman laws were codified and written down in what’s now known as the Code of Justinian.
He is the considered the last great Roman emperor.
