Constantine the Great — he repented of his sins and was baptized at the end of his life.

Theodosius the Great — he made a public penance of his sins.

Plucheria — Empress and Saint.

Marcian — Was generally a good emperor during a difficult time.

Maurice — A great emperor and possible martyr.

Just off the top of my head.

Agree - sort of with Constantine & Theodosius if we allow “all those things I did to get where I am - Sorry I did them!”

The other three I don’t know enough about to have an opinion.

Late Classical\Dark Ages was a tough ruthless time, one usually had to be equally so to survive, more so to prosper!

Of course there are always acceptations!
