Question

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

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

Answer 1

The first choice. Justinian and his Byzantine court were shaped by Greek language and classical education; that Hellenic cultural and intellectual background helped him rebuild and reform the eastern Roman state and present it as a renewed "New Rome."

(Other choices are incorrect: the Justinian Code was based on Roman law, not Greek law; he gained power by succession, not by studying Greek military tactics; and his legal changes drew on Roman law rather than Greek law.)
