Justinian’s Wars

After securing the city and the eastern borders Justinian needed a military victory. Belisarius is thus tasked with taking on the Vandals after their previous king is deposed. Belisarius brings North Africa back into the fold in about 6 months.

He then continues in Italy, taking back Rome, Milan and Ravenna (the new capital) from the Ostrogoths. It was a major win for the Romans and Belisarius is the first general to get awarded a triumph in Constantinople. 

The conquests will not last beyond Justinian. Historians will see them as distractions for an empire with bigger problems to attend to.

Belisarius was always one of my favourite Romans. This amateur documentary focuses on him as a main actor during the Justinian Roman Renaissance.
