Justinian I

He wrote on law, medical jurisprudence and political economy, and translated Justinian and Broussais.

So early as the ninth century, Justinian prescribed the punishment of death for the offence of swearing by the limbs of God.

Justinian, it may be noted, had equipped this army with such a plethora of commanders that their defeat can hardly cause surprise.

I lay claim to no constitutional equality with Justinian or Alfred.
