Justinian I - ܡܠܟܐ

http://syriaca.org/person/2284
Emperor from 527 to 565, Justinian exerted a huge influence on the Roman Empire. Famous for the codification of Roman law and the reconquest of large parts of northern Africa and Italy, he was also theologically very active and suppressed the remnants of paganism and Christian minoritarian groups that were labelled as heretics. He supported John of Ephesus in his missionary campaigns in Asia Minor.8
