He wanted to revise the old Roman law and incorporate new ideas and rules into a new set of rules. 3. resolved the conflict between the empire and the church by restoring the use of icons = Empress Theodora Theodora was the wife of Emperor Theophilos, a staunch iconoclast, meaning he supported the banning of icons. On the other hand, his wife fought for reinstatement of icons into churches, after which she was venerated as a saint.
