Answer: The priority for Justinian I was reconquering lost lands (B). Justinian I was the Byzantine Emperor who ruled from 527 to 565 AD. He is best known for his efforts to restore the territories of the Western Roman Empire that had been lost to invading barbarian tribes. Justinian I launched military campaigns in an attempt to reclaim territories such as Italy, North Africa, and Spain. His most famous general, Belisarius, led these campaigns and achieved some success in recapturing parts of the lost territories. The reconquest efforts were symbolized by the recapture of the city of Rome in 536 AD. Justinian I's focus on reconquering lost lands demonstrates his ambition to restore the former glory and territorial integrity of the Byzantine Empire.
