51. Of course, Justinian’s paranoia was now justified (?). He thought that Belisarius would jump at the chance. He had a eunuch General named Narses take over in Rome and had Belisarius brought home in 541 AD.
52. Narses lost Rome to the Goths in 543. What a surprise... Don’t let the door hit you on the way out! Yeah!
53. So Justinian sent Belisarius to recapture Rome in 544, but only let him take 4000 men this time. Kontos
54. Belisarius recaptured Rome, withstood another siege in 546, and was then recalled to Constantinople by a jealous Justinian in 549. (What a goober!)
