Let's say that after simple reconquest of Africa and during (yet) simple reconquest of Italy Justinian decides that overextension isn't fun and grants Belisarius title of WREmperor (with Africa- of course keeping title of senior emperor)? Thus, Belisarius isn't recalled so most likely he just finishes Ostrogoths (without finishing population of Italy as it happened otl). Whats more- WRE disappeared barely 60 years earlier, so tradition of division between east and west will continue- although most likely in much more amiable manner than otl. What will be consequences of such excellent leader ruling western part of the Empire?
