The Hagia Sophia was constructed by Justinian. It was not built in Rome but in Constantinople, which was the capital of the Byzantine Empire. It is also not considered the last example of the Golden Age of Roman art, but rather a prominent example of Byzantine architecture. While it did have connections to the emperors, it was primarily a church and did not symbolize a division between church and state.
