Who is Tribonian
Dear Tribonian,
Who are you? Well you are the architect of the Corpus Juris Civilis and you’re also dead. In fact you’ve been dead for almost two and a half millennia… tough luck. Of course, the reason this exists is because of a bad joke; you see, given that my name is Justin and that’s close enough to Emperor Justinian (for whom your built the Corpus Juris Civilis), I see it only fit to opine about things at you through letters. Fortunately for you, not only are you dead, but you wouldn’t have been able to read this at all.
Sincerely,
Justin[ian]

I wish my name was a cool was Flavius Petrus Sabbatius Justinian Augustus... oh well...
