greens were fighting against each team and the troops of Justinian imprisoned the
rebellions from both teams. Now, both teams combined and raised a riot against
Justinian. At the same time, government officials had organized a revolt among
people who shared their hatred of the high taxes of Justinians reign. The emperor
panicked and was preparing to flee. However, Theodora persuaded him to stay in
the palace and fight. She offered a suggestion to trap the rebellions. He accepted it
and gathered the rebellions in the Hippodrome, telling them he was willing to
compromise. As soon as the people gathered, the generals and the troops of
Justinian closed all the gates and killed them all. He won and didnt face a serious
challenge to his reign thereafter.)
