Justinian's goal for the Byzantine empire was to restore the Roman Empire to its former glory. To achieve this, he sought to expand the empire's borders, strengthen its economy, and reform its legal system. He also sought to promote Christianity and suppress paganism. To achieve these goals, Justinian launched a series of military campaigns to expand the empire's borders, reformed the legal system by codifying Roman law, and promoted Christianity by building churches and monasteries. He also sought to strengthen the economy by encouraging trade and commerce, and by introducing new taxes.
