1.1 Describe three important political accomplishments of Justinian A. He launched a military campaign against Germanic tribes in Italy and North Africa. As a result he regained most of the empire’s western territories and he restored Ravenna’s status as a capital in Italy B. He took a leading role in shaping church policy by eliminating any remaining Greco-Roman paganism and he also removed all Manichaeans and Samaritans.
Justinian brought new forms of revenue to his people and the economy as he expanded the empire in the sixth century C.E. Document six elaborates on this by tell about the promise that certain monks made to Justinian to provide him with the materials to make silk. Justinian wanted these materials so he no longer had to buy silk from his enemy the Persians. These worms and the silk making skills brought with them help so that the economy could flourish. Those who produced the silk could now sell it and be taxed by the government, which would place money back into the hands of Justinian and his government. You can tell that Justinian held most of the economic power because he put himself on there money.
The structure of the Byzantine Empire was only one factor of why the empire remained stable the key component was who was ruling the empire. One of the most important and memorable early Byzantine rulers was Justinian. Justinian trained for a legal career, had a acute eye for talent, and was profoundly interested in art, especially architecture. He became an aid to his uncle Justin, who after the death of Anastasiu I was appointed ruler of the Byzantine empire. It was through this apprenticeship that Justinian was able to familiarize himself with the current government system and knew how it would need to change when he was proclaimed emperor after his uncles death if the empire were to endure.
The Secret History has much to say in regards to the rule of Justinian and Theodora and without a doubt in that lays much truth and certainty. That Justinian separated his pundits is unchallenged; regardless of whether he was fruitful or not as an Emperor is exceedingly discussed. What can 't be denied is that Theodora was clearly a savvy woman who rose to the rank of Empress in spite of her flawed past, and whom more likely than not been acknowledged by quite a bit of Byzantine society (Procopius). Procopius character death in The Secret History does much to debilitate his contention, yet lamentably, it is this picture of her, as an immoral prostitute who utilized her wiles to lure and at last manage through Justinian, that has won. In that in any event, Procopius
Rome has had many leaders, from triumphant hero’s to tyrants without mercy, but the one thing that all these leaders had in common is that in some way they had shaped or influenced Rome. Whether it be very small unnoticeable change to their city, or an act so monumental that it changed how the world would think soon after. Of coarse I am referring to Constantine the great. No other Roman king had such a massive influence on Rome or the world. Constantine the great was known for converting to Christianity and making Christianity into Romes national religion.
Justinian 's Code Justinian was a Byzantine Emperor. He won many wars and was a successful and well known leader. successful and well known later. He came across the twelve tables. Justinian is a Christian and saint.
Sections 1.21 through 1.29 of Lucian’s True Histories depict the sociology of the Moonmen and the narrator and his crew’s return the earth. One discourse particle used with relative frequency in these sections is γάρ. The particle’s connection to conveying information either through its ability to clarify a cause or relay additional information, explains its many occurrences in these sections. In the sections 1.21-1.29, Lucian generally uses the particle γάρ to mark the cause of a fact which he has previously stated. As is common for this use of γάρ, he begins by relating a piece of information and then expanding on its cause (Denniston, 58.)
Justinian the Great Justinian the great (482-565), also known as Justinian I or Saint Justinian the Great was a Byzantine (east roman) Emperor that reigned from 527 to 565. During his time, his goal was to restore the “greatness” of his empire, and reconquer the western half of the Roman Empire. To do this he gathered “administrators and counselors from outside the aristocratic class. His own modest origins, along with his selection of these court members, contributed to lasting tensions with the Byzantine nobility.
This essay is about the Roman Emperor Constantine I and the genuineness of his conversion in 312 CE. Constantine is renounced for becoming the first Roman emperor to confess Christianity and it is through his conversion that provided the impulse that turned the Roman empire into a predominantly Christian state. He was born into a militant family, his mother, Helena, was a mere concubine and his father an imperial bodyguard to the emperor Aurelian. In March 293, Constantinuis, Constantine's father was promoted to a military emperor whom was a part of the quadripartite who governed the Western empire. This promotion benefited Constantine and he received a formidable education in his native language, Latin, Greek and in Philosophy.
Justinian furthered his mission and began building safe houses for women who were trying to get out of being a prostitute which helped reflect his pure faith as emperor. This essay investigates how Justinian used Theodora to perfect his society and assesses how successful his legislature, safe houses, and punishments were in regards to molding his own utopia. Although, some people say that Theodora was the one who took advantage of her relationship with Justinian, the laws that she got passed only put more control over women and their bodies. Justinian changed these laws that seemed to be made for Theodora and the improvement of women's status but were instead for changing the parts of society that he didn't like as
A letter preserved in Rome was written from Pliny in A.D. 111or 112 to Trajan the Emperor of Rome.

Maximinus I. The organization of these four chapters emphasizes the structural conformity of the treated emperors, less in the similarity of their policies than in the comparability of the political problems of the time. To Gibbon it was clear that, despite apparent differences, the Roman policy of that era was fraught with the Romans
Constantine’s rule was exponentially important for the Roman Empire’s conversion to Christianity, and the decision to move the capital of Rome to Byzantium, later known as Constantinople. To become the head of the Roman Empire Constantine had to overcome Maxentius in a long drawn war. The victory came about in 312 A.D. when Constantine defeated his opponent Maxentius at Mulvian Bridge. With his new gained power Constantine granted freedom of Christianity in Rome by enacting the Edict of Milan in 313 A.D. Constantine’s second political reform was not a reform, but a capital move. Constantine saw that the Roman Empire’s current capital, Rome, was in the middle of falling due to it being in a strategically poor location which created a vulnerability.
America has had its fair share of troubled times, but the widest known wars throughout history happen to involved the world. World War I and World War II cost many American lives as well as other nations. All the reasons for fighting these wars can be justified, but whether that justification is true, the world may never know. World War I (WWI), took place over a span of a few years causing many deaths. WWI took place in the years 1914-1919.
There were still a few focuses which had been faced off regarding and to which the enactment of Justinian did not so far outfit any answer. To focus that Justinian published a book of fifty decisions and as the code of year 529 was an extremely defective work, it was dead set to update that code, and to consolidate the fifty decisions in the amended version. At the same time, a committee was published a textbook for law students, The Institutes. The last part of the Justinian’s codification was the Novels. They were new laws that he issued after the code was
