#Historyfacts #SPQR #Justinian #Theodora #Constantinople
The last ruler of the #Makedonian dynasty, which saw the #EasternRomanEmpire regain substantial territory, the Empress #Theodora was crowned as sole ruler on #ThisDayInHistory in 1055. She tried to take power earlier in life but was blocked by sister Zoรซ. She ruled for 16 months.
#HagiaSophia, the finest church in antique Christendom, was consecrated #ThisDayInHistory in 537. It was the third of that name in #Constantinople, with the prior two lost to riots in 404 & 532. The acme of architecture in the #EasternRomanEmpire, its influence is incalculable.
Using it as an excuse to post this classic

A little time travel to #Constantinople to see the Hagia Sophia built in just 5 years between 532 CE to 537 CE under #Justinian. One of the last Roman Emperor to dream of a united Rome.

Heraclius or Herakleios (610-641), Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, changed the official language from Latin to Greek and was the first to adopt the title 'Basileus.' A pivotal moment in history!

Nikephoros ii Phokas screaming threats at an embarrassed man. He he points at his own speech bubble where he says "go tell your leather gnawing ruler clad in a leather jerkin that the most might and great emperors of the romans is coming immediately to your lands". The style is satirical
Nikephoros ii Phokas but he screams that thing I read of him being a nice diplomat.

Head shot drawing of Nikephoros ii Phokas. He looks shily and uncomfortably to the side as he shrugs. He has dark long hair with some dark gray strands. From the shoulders it shows he's wearing a red tunic with a golden collar.
Head shot of Leo Phokas. He has voluminous curly hair and a short beard. He smiles and looks to the side. His shoulders show he is wearing a 10ce byzantine armor
I am not done with my Byzantine craziness.
Here's Nikephoros ii Phokas and his brother Leo Phokas.
Leo's granddaughter is Theophanou, hre Otto's ii wife and mother of hre Otto iii
