EL EMPERADOR JUSTINIANO I EN CORIPO Y JORDANES

Abstract

Image of Justinian I (527-565) is shown at a particular time of his empire through two coeval Latin sources, who write between 549-551. This is the work Iohannis Libycis Bellis seu libri VIII of Corippus and De origine actibusque getarum of Iordanis. We analyze the defense of the military campaigns in Africa against the Vandals and Italy against the Goths.
