(~541 – 542 CE · Constantinople, Egypt, & the Waters Between & 2015 CE · Northern India)
The Narrator is living a happy life as the dutiful husband of a devout Christian woman in Constantinople when an apocalyptic plague sweeps across the known world killing millions.
Based on Chapter 15 of Middle by Geoff Micks.
Constantinople in the time of Justinian.
The Hagia Sophia as built by the Emperor Justinian shortly before the events of this episode.
The famous mosaic of Justinian and his ministers from the cathedral in Ravenna. Justinian does not feature prominently in this episode, but it still feels like you cannot mention this time in Roman history without using this image somewhere. Rules are rules.
