Empress Theodora and General Belisarius of the Byzantine Empire.



Theodora was empress of the Roman (Byzantine) Empire and the wife of Emperor Justinian I.
Theodora is perhaps the most influential and powerful woman in the Byzantine Empire's history.

General Belisarius was instrumental to reconquering much of the Mediterranean territory of the former Western Roman Empire.
He is also among a select group of men considered by historians to be the "Last of the Romans."
