Why was Justinian's wife and adviser considered to be from a degrading background?

History
1 answer:
mariarad [96]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Theodora, the wife of Justinian and the empress of the Eastern Roman Empire,</u><u> came from the family of people who worked in sort of the circus of the time. </u>Her father was the bear trainer and her mother dancer and the actress.

<u>Similar to her mother, Theodora was working on the Hippodrome, preforming as the dancer (the records talk about her famous act with the swan) and actress. These professions were considered degrading and provocative at the time, often connected to the loose women. </u>

Procopius wrote a lot about this, but we cannot be sure of the accuracy of the texts, and how controversial Theodora's background really was. Procopius was very vocally against Justinian and his wife, writing about their cruelty, incompetence and vulgarity, something that has not been recorded in other sources.

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The right choce is:

It feared Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction.

Explanation:

The George W. Bush administration´s main reason for justifying the invasion of Iraq in 2003 was the assumption that the Saddam Hussein´s dictatorship still possessed weapons of mass destruction (chemical weapons), having failed its international obligations to destroy them after the First Gulf War. 9/11 was a very recent event and it was feared those materials could get in the hands of terrorists, according to the line of the US government. After the brief war against the Iraqi army, the US army failed to find those weapons  in the regime´s stockpiles.
