Emperor Justinian is considered the greatest ruler of the Late Antiquity Period as well as one of the greatest rulers of the Roman Empire in spite of him lacking the ability to understand what culture vision and administrative qualities are . In to compensate for his shortcomings , he surrounded himself with people who were considered as highly intellectual , imaginative and courageous such as Belisarius , John the Cappadocian , Tribonian and his wife , Theodora as his

key advisers

What made Emperor Justinian 's rule memorable was its legal system Tribonian , who was considered as the greatest legal minds of during this period produced the first comprehensive collection of Roman law and the creation of a textbook for law students . The legal code created during Justinian 's rule was extremely comprehensive and very well organized that it had influenced the legal systems of most countries in the world even today . On top of this , it had the legal code created by Tribonian for Emperor Justinian was such that historians are also given a summary of the legal system that had stretched for a thousand years as well as the writings of the classical Roman jurists and legal philosophers

However , it is very clear that Emperor Justinian did not personally contribute in the most noted developments . Yet , since he was the ruling emperor during these developments , these were attributed to him which makes him being recognized as one of the greatest rulers of the Roman Empire highly speculative
