Theodora

Born circa 500; died June 28, 548, in Constantinople. Byzantine empress from 527. Wife of Justinian I.

The daughter of a circus attendant, Theodora was a circus performer before she became the wife of the heir to the throne. After Justinian’s accession, she helped run the government and did much to support the Monophysites. By forestalling Justinian’s flight from the capital, Theodora played an important role in the suppression of the Nika revolt.
