○ a powerful byzantine emperor who allowed his wife to fully control the government
○ a powerful byzantine emperor who devoted himself to spreading peace and religion
○ a powerful byzantine emperor who was overthrown during the nika revolt

Explanation:

Justinian I was a prominent Byzantine emperor known for codifying Roman law into the Corpus Juris Civilis, and he led the rebuilding of Constantinople (including the Hagia Sophia) after the Nika Revolt. The other options are incorrect: he did not cede control to his wife Theodora (she advised him during the Nika Revolt instead), he focused on imperial expansion and legal reform rather than religious peacebuilding, and he successfully suppressed the Nika Revolt instead of being overthrown during it.

Answer:

a powerful Byzantine emperor who reorganized the law and rebuilt Constantinople
