Rome experienced significant weakness during the 3rd century AD, a period often referred to as the Crisis of the Third Century. This era was marked by political instability, economic decline, military defeats, and rampant inflation, leading to the fragmentation of the empire. Additionally, invasions by various barbarian groups and internal strife further exacerbated Rome's vulnerabilities. The eventual division of the empire into the Western and Eastern Roman Empires in 395 AD was a response to these persistent weaknesses.
