  • On August 1st 527, the 45 year old Justinian I, became sole Augustus, the new emperor of eastern rome. His first action was to reiterate the religious policy of Justin in a firmly chalcedonian edict. Justinian inherited an empire in great shape with a full treasury but for now he needed to deal with the persian war.

    Vu que t'es français jvai pas parler anglais: j'ai même pas encore regardé une minute de vidéo que je peux déjà dire que c'est révoltant que l'algo youtube te promote aussi peu. Une qualité de présentation de cartes pareille, c'est du niveau d'HistoryMarche et de Kings&Generals, et ça mérite au moins 50 000 vues par vidéos.

    Justinian just was born and ruled in the wrong time. He had to deal with the worst year ever 536, which caused famine, the plague, and earthquakes. It wasn’t just the enemies of the empire, but also narural disasters.
    Sometimes people blame him to spend all ressources and over extended the empire. But I believe he could’ve succeeded without the natural disasters.
    At the end, all these misfortunes weakened the empire.

    There is prolly some lucky bastard patrolling the southern egyptian frontier on camel not having to bother with any of this.
    Honestly a small desert outpost might be the best way to avoid the plague. I guess you gotta worry about bandits or something like that but it's certainly better than being in Italy or the eastern front.
