Done.
  • which in turn meant that Justin enjoyed good relations with the papacy. suggest:
    resulting in good relations between Justin and the papacy.
Done.
  • He was of Thraco-Roman[3][4] or Illyro-Roman stock suggest:
    He was of either of Thraco-Roman or Illyro-Roman descent (stock is perfectly valid, but descent is more understood by layman, IMHO.)
Done.
  • By morning the event had been announced throughout the capital, Constantinople suggest:

Done, but at first mention of Constantinople.
  • The original Euphemia was a Christian martyr during the Diocletianic Persecution. suggest:
    Her namesake was a Christian martyr during the Diocletianic Persecution.
Not done. I just prefer the original wording.
  • A number of small states on the borders of the Byzantine Empire and of Sassanian Persia were constant bones of contention between the two powers. suggest changing bones to points
Changed to "areas".
  • He did not succeed in having the edict overturned, it seems that he did not press the matter. suggest:
    Although he did not succeed in having the edict overturned, he did not press the matter.
Not done. I read this as a modern historians supposition rather than an established fact, so I am deliberately being a bit wooly.
