>2026 AD>still no Justinian kinoHow much longer must I wait? His life was literally engineered to be a 5-season TV show
>>220512835>5 season tv showah yes I love season 2 where they spend hours arguing about womens rights and banning men from dumping babies on monastery steps
>>220512835How come there are no good movies or shows about the Byzantium era?The court intrigue alone is amazing.
>>220512908Wokesloppery is always a danger with historical kinos but there’s too much golden material to pass up>Justin goes from country bumpkin to ruler of the world’s greatest empire, with his nephew Justinian pulling the strings behind the scene>Belisarius retaking Italy and Africa while Justinian grows paranoid that he’s going to declare himself emperor>Theodora going from literal whore to empress>Nika riots>Procopius writing the Secret History and shitting on everyone>construction of the Hagia Sophia
>>220512924>We need a based protagonistSay no more
>>220512835>His life was literally engineered to be a 5-season TV showCast Theodora NOWOona would have been good.
>>220512963>secret historyId like this only if it keeps in shit like Justinian's head becoming a ball of flesh that flies around the palace at night
>>220512986Basil II was a shit emperor, one of the worst infact. The most important job of an Emperor was to secure the succession and he decided to never have kids and also never let his sisters marry so the dynasty ended. His reign is really unimpressive considering all the hard work was done by the true ultimate Byzantine chad emperor Nikephoros Phokas.

There's an old Italian sword and sandal movie called Theodora slave empress (1954). Pretty sure I'm the only one on /tv/ who's seen it.
HollyJews always make the Roman empire look bad. Christian Roman empire - they won't even touch that. Better to pretend it didn't exist.
