Even by modern standards, the Empress Theodora (?-548) had a remarkable rise to power. Born into the lowest class of Byzantine society, she worked as an actress in burlesque theater. Yet she attracted the love of the future emperor Justinian, who, to the astonishment of proper society, made her not only his wife but also his partner in government. Justinian's respect for and trust in Theodora gave her power in her own right unmatched by almost any other Roman or Byzantine empress. In this book, James Allan Evans provides a scholarly, yet highly accessible account of the life and times of the Empress Theodora. He follows her from her childhood as a Hippodrome bearkeeper's daughter to her imperial roles as Justinian's most trusted counselor and as an effective and powerful advocate for the downtrodden. In particular, he focuses on the ways in which Theodora worked to improve the lives of women. He also explores the pivotal role Theodora played in the great religious controversy of her time, involving a breach between sects in the Christian church.

Robert Browning's "Justinian and Theodora" is both a biography of two forceful and enigmatic personalities -- the peasant's son who became Emperor and the bear-keeper's daughter who was his Empress -- and a history of one of the key epochs in the formation of modern Europe. Justinian's dream was to re-create the Christian Roman Empire of Constantine; his achievement -- at the price of impoverishment in the East and devastation in the West -- was to regain Africa and Italy from the Germanic tribes that had established their monarchies there. For nearly half a century, Justinian wrestled with a complex of problems posed by the Empire, aided and occasionally frustrated by his passionate and unscrupulous consort. In evaluating Justinian, the author substantiates the conclusion of an early scholar, namely, that Justinian intended his reign to inaugurate a great era while it in fact marked the end of one. The color plates, as well as the numerous black-and-white illustrations, show the persons, places, and works of art that figure in this historical period, providing the visual background to a brilliant and sophisticated age. -- From publisher's description.

The Age of Justinian and Theodora is a two-volume historical work written by British historian William Gordon Holmes and it presents a historical account of Byzantine Empire in 6th century A. D. Justinian the Great was the Byzantine emperor from 527 to 565 and his wife Theodora was very influential in the politics of the Empire. Justinian's reign is marked by the ambitious project known as the restoration of the Empire. A still more resonant aspect of his legacy was the uniform rewriting of Roman law, the Corpus Juris Civilis, which is still the basis of civil law in many modern states. His reign also marked a blossoming of Byzantine culture, and his building program yielded works such as the Hagia Sophia.
