In 235 CE, when Emperor Alexander Severus was assassinated by his troops, the condition of the Roman Empire was severe. In the years after the death of the emperor, generals of the Roman army fought for the empire's control, violating their duty of defending the empire from invaders.

Explanation:

  • The Roman Empire started in 27 BCE where Augustus had become the Emperor of Rome.
  • The Crisis of the 3rd Century known as the Imperial Crisis or Military Anarchy, (235-284 CE) was a period wherein the Roman Empire almost disintegrated/crumbled under the combined pressures of civil war, invasion, economic depression, and plague.
  • The Crisis started with the killing of Emperor Severus Alexander by his troops in 235 CE, initiating a fifty-year period wherein there were nearly twenty six claimants to the Emperor's title, mostly well-known Roman army generals, who assumed imperial power over part of the Empire or over all.
  • By 268, the Kingdom had broken into three rival states:  the Empire of Gallic, comprising the Roman provinces of Gaul, Hispania, and Britannia,;  and the Empire of Palmyrene, comprising the eastern provinces of Palaestina, Aegyptus, and Syria; and independent Roman Empire and the Italian-centered. The Kingdom was eventually unified by Aurelian (270-275); in 284 it came to an end with Diocletian's rise and reforms.
  • The crisis had culminated in such profound transitions in the institutions, society, economic life and, finally religion that the contrast between the historical periods of late antiquity and classic antiquity was gradually seen by many historians.
