| '''Flavius Belisarius''' (c. 505 – 565) was a general of the [[Byzantine Empire]] and an instrumental figure in [[Justinian I]]'s project in conquering the territory of the {{Wiki|Western Roman Empire}}.
| |
| | |
| In 536, he led his troops through the [[Porta Asinaria]] and retook [[Rome]] from the {{Wiki|Ostrogoths}}. Belisarius succesfully defended the city from the Ostrogoths from 537-538. Despite this, the Ostrogoth king [[Totila]] was able to retake Rome a few years later.
| |
| | |
| According to a legend from the Middle Ages, Belisarius was blinded by Justinian and seen as a beggar at the [[Porta Pinciana]] in Rome. When questioned about his involvement, Justinian denied it, before abruptly changing the subject to the rebuilding of the [[Hagia Sophia]].
