Greetings all, 

 

Today we commemorate the crowning of Emperor Justin II on November 14th in 565 AD:

He was the nephew of Emperor Justinian I.  Justin vowed to repay the large debt the Empire held, and to replenish the treasury. To do this he stopped paying tributes to Persia and to the Lombards, which sadly ended up causing new wars.
