The Crisis of the Third Century, also known as "Military Anarchy" or "Imperial Crisis" (235-284 AD), was a period in which the Roman Empire nearly collapsed under the combined pressures of barbaric invasion, civil war, plague, and economic depression. The Crisis began with the assassination of Emperor Alexander Severus at the hands of his own troops. By 258-260, the Empire split into three competing states: the Gallic Empire, the Palmyrene Empire, and the Italian-centred and independent Roman Empire, proper, between them. The book studies the reasons and economic impact of this dire situation, till the crisis finally ended with ascension and reforms of Diocletian.
