I'm inclined to agree with Gaiten.
Not just Justinian, but a whole parcel of the later emperors (and pretenders) exacerbated, rather than ameliorated, the decline and fall. Had they been half as interested in good and just government as they were in power we might be speaking Latin. (Okay, a bit of an exaggeration.)
