I found these links to
1. Saladin
http://www.thelemicknights.org/ootmc/saladin/saladin.html
2. Justinian
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justinian
I would compare
(A) religion and cultural background
1. Muslim, Kurd from Iraq
2. Christian, Macedonia/Serbia
(B) conquests and achievements
1. Muslims regained Jerusalem from the Christian Crusaders.
2. Roman empire, judicial reforms, etc.
(C) strategies or philosophy
1. Religiously inclusive of Christians, Jewish, Muslim and respected by all; very chivalrous and peaceful toward those he fought or conquered; very humble and sought no reward for himself
2. Oppressed non-Christian religions; ambitious, self-driven, sought to be a great emperor as Constantine
It seems they both encountered religious differences to address, but Justinian worked to resolve conflicts among Christians involving Roman church policy, while Saladin unified Muslim forces and treated the Christian and Jewish with equal respect and humility.
