"May I never be separated from this purple, and may I not live that day on
which those who meet me shall not address me as mistress. If, now, it is
your wish to save yourself, O Emperor, there is no difficulty. For we have
much money, and there is the sea, here the boats. However, consider
whether it will not come about after you have been saved that you would
gladly exchange that safety for death. For as for myself, I approve a
certain ancient saying that royalty is a good burial-shroud."
The quote above from the Nika Revolt was allegedly spoken by-
O Justinian
O Constantine
Theodora
O None of the above
