👉 Theodora (wife of Justinian I) in the context of Justin II
Justin II (Latin: Iustinus; Ancient Greek: Ἰουστῖνος, romanized: Ioustînos; died 5 October 578) was Eastern Roman emperor from 565 until 578. He was the nephew of Justinian I and the husband of Sophia, the niece of Justinian's wife Theodora.
Justin II inherited a greatly enlarged but overextended empire, with far fewer resources at his disposal compared to Justinian I. He ended the payment of tributes and adopted a hardline stance against the empire's neighbors, which resulted in rekindling of war with the Sassanid Empire, and in a Lombard invasion which cost the Romans much of their territory in Italy. His later reign was marked by severe mental illness.

Theodora (wife of Justinian I) in the context of Probus (consul 525)
Anicius Probus (fl. 525) was a Roman senator living in the Ostrogothic Kingdom who served as the consul of the year 525. He is called "Junior" or "Iunior" in some sources, probably for confusion with Olybrius, a child who served as consul in 491.
He married Proba, daughter of Olybrius and wife Irene, a niece of Eastern Roman Emperor Anastasius I. With her he had a daughter, Juliana, who married Anastasius, son of Anastasius Paulus Probus Sabinianus Pompeius Anastasius, consul in 517, by his marriage to Empress Theodora's illegitimate daughter, whose name has not survived.
