Eastern Roman Emperor 527-565
In 518, Justinian became administrator (basically emperor) for his uncle, Emperor Justin I, who shortly after nammed him as his successor. In 523 he married Theodora, and in 527 he succeeded to the Empire. Justinian immedietly set out to secure and expand the weakening Byzantine state. In 532, he signed an "eternal peace" with Persia to the east, and from 533-534 the Vandal kingdom of northern Africa was re-incorperated into the Empire. Much land was also reconquered in southern Spain from the Visigoths and in southern Italy from the Ostrogoths. By his death, Justinian had reconquered nearly the entire Mediterranean empire once held by Rome.
