Description: An in-depth fictional look at the vicious reign of Justinian II, Emperor of the Romans in the seventh century and one of history's most brutal, desperate, and determined rulers. Justinian II assumed the throne at the youthful age of sixteen and expanded Rome's rule over the Arabs, the Slavs, and most significantly, over the priests of the Eastern Church. Headstrong and stubborn, he eventually overstepped his bounds and was overthrown by the nobles. No one may rule Rome who is not a whole man...so to ensure his powerlessness, his nose was cut off and he was exiled across the Black Sea.
