Justinian was the last great Roman emperor
I-I don't know Justin, maybe we should focus on all those Persians on the east.

You understand that on some level Theodora was likely some kind of prostitute. I mean she was a decent empress, but she had poor beginnings just like Justinian.

That's fine, he's likely not a brainless conservative that thinks the main cultural currency is how much or how little sexual degeneracy is going on.

Justinian's conquests were a net loss in the long run, and he's an overrated shit tier emperor
>>1340223
Procopius was just a butthurt fag
>>1335805
>Civ IV had Justinian
>Civ V not only had Theodora, but implied she was the real powr behind the throne
>Not a useful wife, but the one responsible for literally all of Justinian's achievements
Why?

This, so much this.
I'm a byzantine history phd fag, people always get triggered when I tell them he is hardly the "best emeperor".
He is a meme emperor though, only known due to memebuildings he funded or memes mentioned in procopius.
Anastasius was way better than him, or Heraclius who literally struggled against all odds from start to end with almost no break. While the meme emperor had a treasury full, an empire secure when he first came into power.
the bloody faggot never left Constantinople, compare that to Heraclius himself.
a very underrated emprah imho
