Justinian the Great was one of the most controversial Roman Emperors.You either love or hate the guy.He spent his entire reign fighting against the Persians to the east,enjoying spectacular success.Large new territories were gained in east where the empire would permanently hold.On the other hand,the empire was more or less bankrupt and his successors would have a hard time fixing its’ finances.What would happen if he tried to spent his resources on the reconquest of the west instead?Would it have been far easier?
