From bestiality and child sex slavery to empress of Rome. Also had a kid before she married the roman emperor. Apparently, we really can all make it.

There is scarcely a post-Julio-Claudian roman example of a Great Queen who doesn't mirror the Great Whore, drunk on martyr blood and dripping crimson in tooth and claw

The Classical examples of women of power and influence are incredibly dismal and (this direction, draped in decadence and the furs of sexually purchased violence) probably had a lot to do with how oppressive and warlike those societies were. iirc they even named an evolutionary theory after Theodora-likes

Not really seeing that in any of the common sources. Justinian's rule was considered relatively successful, and better when she was alive than after her death.

iirc Neither of the two major historical accounts of his reign have much positive to say about her in the virtue department. Justinian's reign was generally "good" and saw success due to earlier political and military reorganizations, acceptance of political realities, and fractiousness amongst the principal barbarian kingdoms of Italy

There was a big plague that fucked shit up, but it got scant attention in the contemporary literature. More recent research has connected plagues/pandemics to all kinds of political disarray, all of it written pre-COVID

they co-ruled. Not sure virtue is a top priority for a leader.

It's like that in every society that found itself ruled by powerful womyn for a time. Egypt had a bitch pharaoh at one point, and people hated her so much her own family chipped her name off old stone inscriptions and tried to erase all mention of her.

"Hatshepsut is, according to Egyptologist James Henry Breasted, "the first great woman in history of whom we are informed."[85] In some ways, Hatshepsut's reign was seen as going against the patriarchal system of her time. She managed to rule as regent for a son who was not her own, going against the system which had previously only allowed mothers to rule on behalf of their biological sons. She used this regency to create her female kingship, constructing extensive temples to celebrate her reign, which meant that the public became used to seeing a woman in such a powerful role. This ensured that when the oracle declared her king, the Egyptian public readily accepted her status.[86][page needed]"

Why didn't her family bump her off while she was "reigning" then

They may have. All governments at all times have been extremely shitty record keepers in this regard. There's nothing exceptional about Roman history, really. They sucked as bad as anyone when it came to documenting their own internal affairs.
