A proposito di questo titolo

In January 532 CE, Constantinople erupted in a riot that nearly toppled Emperor Justinian. What started as a faction fight between the Blues and Greens — the city's chariot-racing fan clubs — exploded into a full-scale rebellion that left half the city in ashes. Lucas and Luna dive into the dramatic story of the Nika Revolt: the political tensions that sparked it, the terrifying week when the mob proclaimed a rival emperor, and the pivotal moment when Empress Theodora's fierce speech steeled Justinian's resolve. They explore how Justinian's general Belisarius crushed the uprising with mass slaughter in the Hippodrome, and how the victory paved the way for the construction of the Hagia Sophia. This episode brings to life the raw street power of Constantinople's demes, the fragility of imperial rule, and the ruthless choices that built the Byzantine Empire.
