Justinian Code

Identify the development of written laws (Justinian Code) Recognize the possible causes of changes in civilizations Recognize the impact of individuals on world history

Justinian Looks to the Past In 527 A.D. Justinian I began to plan ways to make the Byzantine Empire as great as the Roman Empire had been in the past. With a strong army, he conquered: Gen Belisarius Many lands that Rome had lost Alexandria in Egypt Carthage in northern Africa Athens in Europe

Justinian Code Emperor Justinian chose ten men to review 1,600 books full of Roman Law (Twelve Tables) and create a simpler legal code. These men were able to create the Justinian Code with just over 4,000 laws. The laws were recorded in four books. Many of the laws in Justinian’s Code reflect the point of view of his wife, Theodora.

Empress Theodora Theodora encouraged her husband to make new laws that were fairer to women. Laws allowing parents to leave property to daughters Laws improving women’s rights Innocent until proven guilty Theodora assisted her husband in choosing government leaders. She believed jobs should be given based on ability and not social class.

Empress Theodora Theodora’s early life was spent at the Hippodrome, or circus. Her father was a bear keeper and she was a circus performer, but left the circus in her 20s. Most empresses came from noble families. Theodora’s early life gave her a prospective of what life was like for ordinary citizens. Her husband also came from a poor family. Like Rome, a small number of citizens were wealthy, while most were working class or poor.

Byzantine Economy Justinian worked to build a strong economy. Constantinople was a meeting place for merchants from Europe and Asia. New industries – Silk He ordered silkworm eggs smuggled from China, along with mulberry trees. This ended the monopoly China held on the world’s silk trade.

Chinese Silk Trade The Chinese kept silk making a secret for about 3000 years. They didn’t want others to know how to make silk. If anyone told the secret, they would be put to death. They traded the silk along a route that was known as the Silk Road. The Silk Road connected China with lands in the west. Bandits and thieves often traveled the Silk Road.

Byzantine Economy Taxes collected from trade and industry were used for a building program to make Constantinople the New Rome. One example is the Church of Holy Wisdom, or Hagia Sophia. The dome of the church forms a circle of 40 windows.

Religious Dispute Justinian and Theodora were both Christians, but they disagreed about religious ways. Disputes concerning religious beliefs and traditions often caused conflicts in between the east and the west. One argument concerned the use of icons in religious worship and prayers.

Religious Dispute Orthodox Christians, (east) or those who held strict religious beliefs, thought the use of icons (pictures of Christ) was forbidden in the Ten Commandments. Orthodox Christians thought this was a form of worshipping idols. In the west where few people could read or write, church leaders believed the use of icons was a good way to teach about Christianity.

The Great Schism of 1054 In 1054 the Christian Church split because of disagreements over religious issues. Two branches of Christianity form: Eastern Greek Orthodox Church Roman Catholic Church

The Great Schism of 1054 Eastern Greek Orthodox Church Based in Constantinople Official language – Greek Church led by a Patriarch referred to as a Bishop Bishops couldn’t marry. Priests could marry. Scriptures were the final authority on all matters. Emperor or political ruler was above the Bishop. Rejected the use of icons. Roman Catholic Church Based in Rome Official language – Latin Church led by a Pope referred to as Father. Church leaders could not marry. Only Pope and Bishops could interpret the scriptures. The Pope was the Supreme head of Church - above any political ruler. Religious icons accepted.
