Justinian's reforms

Justinian’s reforms aimed to modernize and strengthen the Byzantine Empire. He created a comprehensive legal code, known as the Justinian Code, which organized and simplified existing laws to provide clearer rules for courts and officials. This helped ensure justice and stability. Additionally, he reformed the government by centralizing authority, improved tax systems, and invested in public works like churches and roads to boost the economy and urban life. His efforts preserved Roman traditions and increased the empire’s administrative efficiency, providing a more unified and organized system of governance.
