Justin ( Latin: Iustinus; Greek: Ἰουστῖνος; died 528) was a general of the Byzantine Empire, active early in the reign of Emperor Justinian I (r. 527–565) as commander of the Danubian limes in Moesia Secunda. [1]
Justin is mentioned in 528 as " stratelates of Moesia". He probably held the title of dux Moesiae Secundae and the rank of magister militum. He joined forces with Baduarius, dux of Scythia Minor, in battle against a force of foreign invaders, who John Malalas identifies as " Huns", while Theophanes the Confessor identifies as Bulgars. [2] Justin was killed in that battle and was succeeded in his post by Constantiolus. [1]
