Event #896
The Crisis of the Third Century marked a period of severe instability within the Roman Empire beginning in 235 AD. This era saw widespread political chaos, military defeats, and economic collapse. The assassination of Emperor Severus Alexander triggered a rapid succession of rulers and internal conflict.
Throughout this time, the empire faced multiple invasions, civil wars, and the rise of breakaway states. The breakdown of central authority deeply weakened Roman control and threatened the empire’s survival.
