The Age of Justinian

Justinian ruled the Byzantine Empire from Constantinople for thirty-eight years until his death in 565. His reign was marked by his campaigns to re-unite the western and eastern Roman Empires, but its legacy is one of artistic excellence, both in Ravenna and Byzantium. The events of this period had long-standing and far-flung effects, influencing changes in political, economic and religious developments of the medieval period. This module will confront evidence for these changes in a variety of textual and visual sources.
