How did the third century crisis start?
The Crisis of the Third Century was caused by repeated invasions at distant points on the vast frontiers of the Roman Empire. The army managed to repel them, but it became overstretched and there was unrest among the troops. This led to a period of military anarchy. Many emperors in this period were men of humble origins who rose through the ranks of the military and were proclaimed emperors by their troops. The turnover of emperors was fast. Many were murdered, sometimes even by their own troops who had proclaimed them. There were also 35 usurper emperors who tried to usurp the imperial title of to take over parts of he empire. There were two shot-lived breakaway part of the empire, the Gallic Empire and the Palmyrene Empire. There was also a problem with hyperinflation.
What is the biggest worry for the Roman Emperor?
Rome was ruled by emperors for 502 years. There were 138 emperor and 9 usurper emperors. Therefore, the biggest worry for a Roman emperor depended on the specific circumstances he had to face. These circumstances changed over time, following the twists and turns of Roman history. The main types of problems which would worry a Roman emperor the most were: 1) Conspiracies leading to deposition or assassination 2) Rebellions by units of the army 3) Usurpations 4) Invasions and/or raids into the empire 5) Riots in Rome 6) Civil war (Year of the Four Emperors, 69, Year of the Five Emperors, 193, Constantine's war against Maxentius, 312, Constantine's war against Licinius, 324) 7) Secessions for the empire (Gallic Empire, 260-74, Palmyrene Empire, 260-73) or attempts to secede (Constantine III, 407-09)
What united the Roman empire?
Aurelian did not just help to reunite the Roman Empire. He was the emperor of who actually reunited it. He defeated Zenobia of Palmyra who had taken over Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Egypt and broken away from the empire. Historians call this the Palmyrene Empire. It lasted for 3 years. Aurelian negotiated re reunification of what historians call the Gallic Empire, a splinter part of the empire which lasted for 14 years and consisted of Gaul (France and Belgium), Britannia (England and Wales) and, for a while, Hispania (Spain and Portugal). For this achievement he was given the title of Restitutor Orbis (Restorer of the World). Aurelian also defeated the Alemanni who invaded Italy and inflicted the final defeat on the Goths (routing them and killing their leader) which ended their invasions which had been occurring on and off for 18 years. This earned him the title of Gothicus Maximus
Did the Roman army lose its discipline and thus endanger the Roman empire and cause it to be overrun?
The army did so during the period historians call the Crisis of the Third century. This was a 50-year period of military anarchy. Many emperors were military commanders who were proclaimed emperors by they own troops. They in turn were challenged by other commanders who were proclaimed emperors by their own troops. Many emperors were murdered, sometimes even by their own troops which had proclaimed them emperors because they did not want to fight a civil war. There were also various usurper emperors in parts of the empire. Two part of the empire split from the Roman Empire (the Gallic Empire and the Palmyrene Empire. Aurelian restored the unity of the empire and for this he was called Restitutor Orbis (Restorer of the World).The Crisis did not actually cause the empire to be overrun. It encouraged the goths and the Heruli to invade the south of the Balkan Peninsula (particularly Greece and Bulgaria) three times and the Franks and Alemanni to plunder northern Gaul, across the River Rhine frontier. The Roman army managed to repulse these invasions or raids, even though at times it found itself overstretched. When the crisis was over the Roman Empire was still intact. It had only given up Dacia (par of Romania), which was north of the River Danube, because it was difficult to defend.
What Roman emperor restored stability to the Roman Empire?
The emperor Aurelian reunited the Roman Empire. He defeated Zenobia of Palmyra (in Syria) who had overrun the Levant (Syria, Lebanon, and Israel), part of present day Turkey and Egypt and broke away from the empire, creating her own state, which historians call the Palmyrene Empire) and renegotiated the reunification with the breakaway part of the empire which historians call the "Gallic Empire"(Britain and Gaul). For this he was given the title Restitutor Orbi (Restorer of the World). The emperor Diocletian took further steps to stabilise the empire. He established the tetrarchy (rule by four). He nominated Maximian co-emperor. Diocletian took charge of the east and Maximian took charge of the west. He then appointed two junior emperors and put them in charge of troubled frontier areas. The subdivided the empire into four main administrative units (the praetorian prefectures), each headed by one of the four emperors. He also doubled the number of Roman provinces to reduce the power of the provincial governors and grouped them into twelve intermediate administrative units (the dioceses). He doubled the size of the imperial bureaucracy. All these measures were aimed at strengthening imperial control.
Who tried to save the declining roman empire?
The emperor Aurelian (reigned 270-275) restored order and the unity of the empire. He ended the Crisis of the Third Century in which the empire was continually invaded by its neighbours, there were military rebellions and usurper emperors, and two parts of the empire broke away. His successes against invaders and in ending usurpations and secessions earned him the title of "Restitutor Orbis" (Restorer of the World). Aurelian defeated the peoples who were attacking the empire. He defeated the Alemanni (after a devastating war) Goths, Vandals, Juthungi, Sarmatians, and Carpi. He also re-unified the empire by defeating two breakaway parts: the Palmyrene Empire in the Middle East and the Gallic Empire in Gaul and Britannia. Neither Aurelian, nor next few emperors, restored full stability. He himself was murdered because he was tough on corruption. Two of the next three emperors were also murdered. The next emperor and his sons managed to gain further stability for the empire. Then Diocletian's decided that one man could not rule the vast empire alone because of the murders of previous emperors and because there was tension in nearly all the provinces of the empire. Therefore, he created the tetrarchy (rule by four). He subdivided the empire into four administrative units and put two senior emperors and two junior emperors in charge of them. This system provided stability during his reign. However, when he retired these men fought each other. Constantine I fought two civil wars, became the sole emperor and restored stability.
What was the most important thing dioclertian did to try to save the roman empire?
Diocletian did not need to save the Roman Empire. The empire had already been saved earlier by Aurelian who defeated various peoples who were invading it (the Goths, Vandals, Juthungi, Sarmatians, and Carpi) and reunited it by defeating two breakaway parts of the empire: Palmyrene Empire and the Gallic Empire. Diocletian realised that one man could not rule the Roman Empire on his own. There were conflicts in virtually every province of the empire. Therefore, he created what historians have called the tetrarchy (rule by four). In 285 he created a co-emperorship with himself in charge of the eastern part of the empire and his fellow general Maximian in charge of the western part. He designated Nicomedia (in north-western Turkey) as the imperial capital of the eastern part and Milan (in northern Italy) as the imperial capital of the western part. In 293 Diocletian appointed two junior emperors (Caesars) who were subordinates of the two senior ones (Augusti). Constantius was put in charge of Gaul (in the western part of the empire) and Galerius was put in charge European territories in the eastern part of the empire (the Balkan Peninsula). With this arrangement Diocletian was in Charge of the Roman territories in Asia and Egypt and eastern Libya and Maximian was in charge of Italy, Spain and Portugal and north-western Africa. The task of the two junior emperors was to defend the most troubled parts of the Roman frontiers: the river Rhine in the west and the river Danube in the east. Augusta Trevorum (Triers) in Gaul and Sirmium (Sremska Mitrovica) in Serbia were also designated as imperial capitals as the seats of the two Caesars.
