Theodora (wife of Justinian I)
Death

Theodora's death is recorded by Victor of Tonnena, with the cause uncertain; however, the Greek terms used are often translated as " cancer ". Victor notes the death date was 28 June 548 and her age as 48, although other sources report that she died at 51. Later accounts attribute the death to breast cancer but this was not identified in the original report, where the use of the term "cancer" probably referred to a more general "suppurating ulcer or malignant tumor". She was buried in the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople. During a procession in 559, Justinian visited and lit candles for her tomb.
