The ENTIRE Life of Justinian the Great – The Emperor Who Tried to Rebuild Rome

The Roman Empire in the west had been dead for decades—but one man in Constantinople refused to accept it. Justinian was born a peasant's son, rose to the purple throne, and vowed to restore everything Rome had lost. He sent his generals to reconquer Italy, North Africa, and Spain. He built the Hagia Sophia, a cathedral so magnificent that he reportedly whispered "Solomon, I have surpassed you." He gathered centuries of Roman law and forged them into a code that still shapes legal systems today. But glory came at a cost. A riot nearly destroyed him—30,000 dead in a single day before he regained control. Plague swept through his empire and almost took his own life. And the woman who saved him when he wanted to flee? A former courtesan the court had despised. He was the last emperor to speak Latin as his first language, and the last to truly believe Rome could rise again. This is the story of the man who tried to rebuild an empire—and what it took from him.
