CREATED: person Sophia (Roman empress) ܣܘܦܝܐ ܡܠܟܬܐ / ܐܢܬܬܗ Aelia Sophia http://syriaca.org/person/5155 http://syriaca.org/johnofephesus/persons/5155 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophia_(empress) Sophia was the niece of the empress Theodora and the wife of Justin II. She was very influential during his reign from 565 to 578 and preserved her exalted status under Tiberius and Maurice. John of Ephesus blames her for participating in the persecution of the miaphysites in the early 570s. In Joh. Eph., EH 2.10, he even claims that she had originally been a miaphysite and only turned to the Chalcedonian communion for supporting the imperial ambitions of her husband Justin. 565-578 female 52; 70; 71; 118; 125; 131; 132; 133; 134; 135; 139; 150; 151 3.2.10; 3.3.4; 3.3.7; 3.3.8; 3.3.9; 3.3.10; 3.3.14; 3.3.23; 3.3.24 Aelia Sophia 1 1179-1180 1179-1180 52; 70; 71; 118; 125; 131; 132; 133; 134; 135; 139; 150; 151
