Question

This ruler’s construction projects were recounted in De Aedificiis (“day EYE-di-FIK-ee-ees”). This ruler’s marriage to a Miaphysite may have led him to condemn the Chalcedonian (10[1])(“KAL-suh-DON-ee-an”) Three-Chapters, sparking a feud with Pope Vigilius. In the Treaty of Eternal Peace, this ruler agreed to pay (10[2])11,000 pounds (10[1])of gold to (10[1])Sassanid emperor Khosrau I (“CAUSE-row the first”). Under this ruler, a building was designed by Isidore of Miletus after its predecessor burned down during the Nika Riots. (-5[1])This emperor reformed law (10[1])in the Corpus Juris Civilis, and sent Belisarius to reconquer portions of the Western Roman Empire. For 10 points, name this Byzantine Emperor, the husband of Theodora and constructor of the Hagia Sophia. ■END■
