Emperor Justinian rebuilt Constantinople.
The Nika Riots took place in Constantinople in 532. There was a lot of unrest at the time because of high taxes and wars. Politics in Constantinople was dominated by factions which were identified by the colors of liveries of chariot teams they supported. The most important were the Blues and the Greens. After races, they commonly rioted. When a number of people were killed in riots, the murderers were caught and sentenced to death.

Theodora was the wife of 6th century Roman emperor Justinian I. She was instrumental in turning the tide in favor of Justinian during the Nika riots in 532 AD. When as a result of massive riots against him, Justinian and his close aides were preparing to flee, Theodora convinced Justinian to stay put and fight it out.

The major public works program initiated by Emperor Justinian was largely a response to the devastation caused by the Nika Riots in 532 AD. These riots, which erupted over political disputes and social unrest, resulted in significant destruction in Constantinople. To restore the city and assert his authority, Justinian embarked on an ambitious building campaign, leading to the construction of iconic structures such as the Hagia Sophia and extensive improvements in infrastructure, including roads, aqueducts, and fortifications. This program not only aimed to repair the damage but also to enhance the glory and stability of his reign.
