Alternate Wives for Justinian?

In the course of research for my timeline (see link below), I saw that the Empress Euphemia, Justinian's aunt, wasn't a big fan of Theodora and blocked Justinian from marrying her as long as she was alive. So a thought occured to me- what if Theodora died, disappeared, fell out of love with Justinian, etc., who would he end up marrying?

Perhaps Amalasuntha? This sounds as bad as Irene marrying Charlemagne, but I think it would be an interesting match if the Theoderic for instance saw the advantages of such a union in creating Goth-Roman Emperors, which would also help with Pete's OTL western ambitions.

Of course, it would be fun to observe something like the Nika riots in TTL, and see if the shroud is indeed purple.
