The year was AD 540. The ambitious emperor Justinian had reigned the Roman Empire for 13 years now, and in that time, due to his brilliant general Flavius Belisarius, large parts of the former Western Roman Empire had been restored to Roman rule. The Roman Empire could have been restored in its entirety, but unfortunately, history did not go that way. Why this was and what happened instead, shall be the topic of this video.
