BYZANTIUM PARALLELS - CONSTANTINE AND JUSTINIAN I

The similarity is big between two great monarchs of the early Byzantium pe-
riod - Constantine I and Justinian I. Both of them had great ancestors (Claudius II,
Constantinus Chlorus, Justin I). Their wives had influences (Helena and Constantia,
Theodora) to their decisions. They both had prejudiced biographers (Eusebius,
Procopius) and they both longed towards the restoration of the Roman Empire. They
were the conveners of the Council. For the difference to Constantine, who was more
authoritative, Justinian had for every view of action a special person (conquest
Velizar, law Tribonian, biographer Procopius). After the death of Constantine, the
Empire fell into the religious and political misunderstandings and divisions, and Jus-
tinian death pushed Byzantium into bigger slavery.
