The Age of Justinian examines the reign of the great emperor
Justinian (527-565) and his wife, Theodora, who advanced from the
theatre to the throne. The origins of the irrevocable split
between East and West, between the Byzantine and the Persian
Empire are chronicled, which continue up to the present day. The
book looks at the social structure of sixth century Byzantium and
the neighbors that surrounded the empire. It also deals with
Justinian's wars, which restored Italy, Africa and a part of
Spain to the empire.
