Byzantine emperor. He was born as Petrus Sabbatius, son of Sabbatius in Tauresium 482. He was adopted by his maternal uncle, Emperor Justin I, and made coemperor in 527, succeeding to sole rule later in the year. He sought to expand the empire regaining Italy, North Africa, and parts of Spain. He also undetook the codification of the laws of the empire. He was a staunch adherent to the orthodox faith and unsympathetic to the Coptic church. He encouraged orthodox missionaries in Nubia and closed the temple of Philae, ending paganism in Egypt. He died in Constantinople on 14 November 565.
