Which was not an accomplishment of Justinian? He launched a systematic review of Roman law that served to inspire legal codes for centuries. He initiated a military campaign to reconquer the western Roman Empire from Germanic tribes. He revitalized the empire’s finances by instituting a new comprehensive tax code for all classes. He embarked on an ambitious construction program that remade and beautified Constantinople.
Justinian ruled the Eastern Roman Empire from 527 to 565. It was in his time that the Eastern Roman Empire turned into the Byzantine Empire. Among Justinian's major accomplishments were: He extended the Byzantine Empire dramatically. Justinian extended the empire back into areas that had previously been part of the Western Roman Empire. He conquered Italy and much of the coast of North Africa and even reached as far as Spain. He codified Roman law. There had been many laws passed by Roman legislatures, edicts handed down by emperors, commentaries by legal scholars, and other kinds of materials related to the law. Justinian had these collected in one place and used that as the basis of Byzantine law. This codification would later be used across Europe as the basis for law. He had a great deal of building done in Constantinople. The most important of these buildings was the Hagia Sophia, an extremely beautiful church that still stands today.
