Justin I established the ruling house to which Justin II belonged, consolidating imperial authority after a contested succession. Justin II’s reign brought mounting fiscal and military pressure, while Maurice Tiberius restored discipline and fought determined frontier campaigns. His overthrow and murder destabilized the empire and helped unleash a prolonged war that exhausted its resources.
