Summary

If you want to discover the captivating life of Justinian I, then pay attention...

While the name Justinian may not be one that instantly strikes a chord with people, his life and his legacy continue to impact people all over the world to this day. It is very likely that as you read this, you are living your life in accordance with laws that came about as a result of Justinian’s rewriting of the old Roman codes.

Your religious life may have been impacted by the religious melting pot of the Byzantine Empire, and you may not even realize it. Perhaps, even some of the characters in the books you read, the movies you watch, and the games you play are actually taken from the lives of real people who lived in a very different world than ours, yet they have captured the imaginations of creative thinkers throughout the centuries.

In this audiobook, you'll discover the life of one of the most important emperors of the late Roman Empire and the things he accomplished.

More things to reading...

kinda like the old trite saying saving the best of last.. learning this & be informed of someone not as well known but just as important in accomplishments as many of the other emperors.

who has a lasting effect,

, so Justinian was both the ethical and civic leader of his realm. I was surprised to see that Justinian struck skeptics, even upper-echelon citizens who espoused heresy.

Recommend all Captivating History audible....

I've gotten rather enthralled in Captivating History audible of late. For anyone interested in quick listen, they are that. But they're also full of a lot of details without all you find in much longer History audible..
