In the Lombard period, could not the Byzantine Empire have occupied Rome?
score:3
Accepted answer
The Byzantine Empire did occupy Rome during the reign of Justinian I, which ended in 565, during which the Empire reached the peak of its power.
By the time of Emperor Maurice (beginning 582), the Byzantine Empire had serious enemies closer to home, from Persia and the Balkans. Hence they were too weak (in Italy) to overcome a relatively small Lombard "wedge" that shielded Rome from them.
