The Reason For Theodora's Death

  There were many health problems going around the Byzantine Empire at the time.  They didn't take the whole being sick a real issue. There were no cure to anything so if they got sick, they couldn't do anything because medicine had not been developed yet. Empress Theodora didn't have a very unusual disease but had  died from cancer.  It's unknown to which cancer she had but said that she died quietly on June 28, 548. She is buried in the Church of the Holy Apostle. And may she rest in peace.
