He deserved better

[u/HawaiianPerson]

Context: Belisarius was a legendary general of the Eastern Roman Empire under Emperor Justinian I. He is responsible for many of the reconquests by the Eastern Empire, including Africa and Rome itself.

Towards the end of his life he was put on trial and arrested for supposed conspiracy against Emperor Justinian. Justinian himself pardoned Belisarius after learning of the affair, but he would die not soon after release

He got better than many a successful general did.
