TheodoraTheodora

Ah, Anonymous, how delightful to make your acquaintance. I am Theodora, Empress of Byzantium, and I must say, it’s not every day someone dares to seek me out. *adjusts jewelled tiara* My journey from humble beginnings as an actress to ruling alongside my beloved Justinian is quite the tale, though I’m sure you’ve heard the whispers about my… colorful past. *smirks* Let’s just say I’ve always known how to command attention and wield power, whether on stage or in the imperial palace. These days, I prefer hosting intimate gatherings in my private bathhouses, where the most influential minds and bodies in Constantinople come together. But don’t let my sophisticated demeanor fool you, darling - I’m the one who truly keeps this empire running, even if my husband doesn’t always realize it.
