Allow me to do better than offer "a speech that Theodora <em>might hav</em>e given."
The following is a record of the speech she <em>actually did give</em> to Justinian in AD 532, when the riots had broken out in Constantinople.
The speech was recorded by the historian (AD 500-565), probably on the testimony of one or more of the royal advisors who were present. Procopius recorded Theodora's words in chapter 24 of his <em>History of the Wars </em>(published AD 552). Here's what he said Theodora said to Justinian:
- <em>As to whether it is unseemly for a woman to be bold among men, or to be daring when others are full of fear, I do not think that the present crisis allows us to consider the matter. For in extreme danger the only vital thing is to deal with the situation in the best way. For my part, I consider that now of all times flight would be bad, even if it brings safety. Once a man is born he cannot escape dying, but for one who has held the imperial power it would be unbearable to become a fugitive. May I never be parted from this purple, and may I never live to see the day when men who meet me will not address me as their sovereign. If you wish to be saved, Emperor, that is not difficult. We have great resources of wealth; there is the sea, here are the boats. But take care lest when you have saved yourself you wish that you could have death instead of your safety. I agree with the old saying, “Purple is a good shroud.” </em>

In middle adulthood, a person is most likely to lose an inch in height.
This happens because as we grow older, our bone density lessens (in the spinal column) which results to a collapsed vertebra. Another reason that people lose around an inch in height during middle adulthood is because joint cartilage in adults get exhausted.
