Raised as a child acrobat in the circus, Theodora married the future emperor Justinian I in 523.
Before her rise to the throne as the wife of emperor Justinian, Theodora was had been an actress, a profession which gave rise to rumours that she had been a prostitute. John of Ephesus remembers Theodora fondly because she protected a large number of miaphysite monks and clerics in Constantinople until her death in 548.
