Eastern Roman Emperor 518-527
Justin was an old man when he became Emperor, and is said to have been completely illiterate (unheard of for a Roman). Even though Justinian, his nephew, was still young, he was the one who ran the Eastern Empire during his reign, and was succeeded by him as Emperor on his death in 527.
