Basically after Justinian postponed the chariot games everyone became super peeved and began to riot. They ran amok in the city for days burning everything in sight. Eventually Justinian herded the rioters into the Hippodrome and killed them all. In the end 30,000+ people died and half of Constantinople was ashes.
What if the riots went on for longer and burned more of the city? Would Justinian be forced to flee the city? If he did what would that due to both the Empire and his rule? Could this end Justinian's Empire before he it into the swing of things.
