Procopius seemed so happy because of the divine intervention of Hagia Sophia.
Explanation:
- Procopius was a scholar of Emperor Justinian and writer of a book on the buildings of Justinian.
- He was the first to proclaim that the dome of Hagia Sophia floated over the building by divine intercession.
- He was happy because the structure was colossal and it passed the extraordinary noble standards.
- The building was a genuine illustration of God and its divine power.
- A less known fact is that Procopius despised Justinian and even referred to him as a daemon.
- Procopius hailed from the aristocracy, which as a group hated Justinian and Theodora. Part of the problem was the peasant backdrop of both the emperor and empress.
