Question 11 • TX-World History Studies A-CR

Which best explains how ancient Greek culture influenced Emperor Justinian I?

Answer
A
The study of ancient Greek language and education helped Justinian create a “New Rome.”
B
The study of ancient Greek law and religion helped Justinian create the Justinian Code.
C
The study of ancient Greek language and military tactics helped Justinian seize power.
D
The study of ancient Greek law and education helped Justinian promote rights for women.

Explanation

Justinian ruled the Eastern Roman Empire, where Greek language and learning were central to educated life. His efforts to strengthen and renew the empire are associated with creating a “New Rome.” The Justinian Code was a compilation of Roman law, so choice B incorrectly attributes it to ancient Greek law and religion.
