What was a result of Justinian's attempt to reunite the eastern and western halves of the old Roman Empire?
Answer (2)
Italy and North Africa were conquered, but then lost to new invaders. Italy was invaded by the Lombards and North Africa was seized by the Arabs in the 7th century.
Justinian's attempt to reunite the Roman Empire resulted in initial military success, reclaiming North Africa and much of Italy. However, these gains were short-lived as Italy faced invasions from the Lombards, leading to significant destruction and loss of territory. Ultimately, his conquests contributed to the decline of the Western Roman territories in the decades following his reign.
