Series Description:
Justin II or Justin the Younger (c. 520 – 5 October 578) was Eastern Roman Emperor from 565 until his death. He was the nephew of Justinian I and the husband of Sophia, the niece of the Empress Theodora, and was therefore a member of the Justinian Dynasty. His reign was marked by war with the Sassanid Empire, and the loss of the greater part of Italy. He presented the Cross of Justin II to Saint Peters, Rome.
