Justinos I

Japanese: ユスティノス[1世]（英語表記）Justinos I

450-527
Byzantine Emperor. Reigned 518-527. Born a Macedonian peasant, he joined the Praetorian Guard in Constantinople and was later promoted to its commander. After the death of Emperor Anastasios, he was recommended for the throne despite being old and uneducated, as there were no other suitable candidates. He also established relations with the Kingdom of Aksum in Abyssinia (Ethiopia), but the greatest achievement of his nine-year reign was the establishment of orthodoxy. He corrected the heretical tendencies of his predecessor (Monophysiteism) and began persecuting heretics. He reconciled with Pope Hormisdas, putting an end to the break with the Roman Church (the Akacian Schism) that had begun with Emperor Zeno's Henoticon (Edict of Unity) (519).

450ころ‐527
ビザンティン帝国の皇帝。在位518‐527年。マケドニアの農民の出身でコンスタンティノープルの近衛部隊に入隊し，後に部隊長に昇進。アナスタシオス帝の死去により老齢かつ無教養ながら，他に適当な候補者がいないままに推挙を受け即位。アビシニア(エチオピア)のアクスム王国との関係を開いたりもしたが，その9年の治政の最大の業績は正統信仰の確立であった。先帝の異端的傾向(単性論)を修正し，異端の迫害を開始。ローマ教皇ホルミスダスと和解，ゼノン帝の〈ヘノティコン(統一令)〉に端を発したローマ教会との断絶(アカキオスの分離)に終止符を打った(519)。
