Law, Politics, and Religion in Justinian Legislation

Abstract

An analysis of the ideological, political and religious motives which brought to life Justian legislation, in which Roman law and the Orthodox Catholic religion converge, helps to understand the reasons that led the Byzantine emperor to legitimize his imperial power using it as a powerful instrument of intolerance and discrimination towards those in opposition to him.
