DBWI: Eastern Roman Empire lasts longer?

Is there anyway to prevent the Emperors from being overthrown and the Republic restored? Maybe Justinian doesn't go off on his pointless reconquests? Or maybe just no Nika Riots?
 
I doubt it would be possible. But if it is possible, it would have a profound impact on history. Maybe they would have been able to stop the Muslims from taking over Southern Europe? Who knows.

The reason why the Ottoman Empire was so successful was because the republic had been restored. If it hadn't, maybe the Turks would still be in Central Asia.

The Pope would be pleased.
