The Roman Empire and the Crisis of the Third Century, c. 270 CE. A map illustrating the state of affairs in the lands of the Roman Empire following the violent death of Emperor Severus Alexander in 235 CE during a period known as the Crisis of the Third Century, as multiple pretenders staked a claim to the imperial throne (in 50 years, fifty-one individuals received the title of the Roman Emperor predominantly through military coups and most of them never reached Rome). The time of the "Crisis" was the most disruptive in Roman history as the Empire struggled not only with issues of succession, devaluation of the currency, and an inflationary economy but also with existential threats from breakaway states (the Gallic and the Palmyrene empires), the Persian Sassanid monarchy and countless barbarian invasions across the imperial frontier. On top of these, there was also the "Plague of Cyprian" (most probably smallpox or pandemic influenza, named after a chronicle by the Bishop of Carthage) which caused significant shortages of manpower for the army and the production of food. The crisis gradually came to an end as the Empire was stabilized through the military success of Aurelian (c. 270 CE) and the implementation of wide-ranging reform by Diocletian in 284 CE. map by 🐒 simeon.netchev published @whencyclopedia

Did you know Gordian II (emperor in 238 (Venning)) is supposed to have had lots of kids? According to the Historia Augusta The Three Gordians XIX, Gordian II had 22 paramours and each one of them gave him 3-4 kids. It is estimated Genghis Khan has 16 million descendants (Zerjal et al., 2003) with between 1000 and 3000 children (https://www.forkingpaths.co/p/who-had-the-most-kids-in-history), so who knows? Perhaps Gordian II (portrayed here in a copy of Zonaras, By Unknown Byzantine scribes - Estense Digital Library - Cronaca di Zonara e altri brevi testi di storia bizantina, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=111862778) was an ancestor of populations in northern Africa! He's also connected to a surprising number of other emperors, as shown by our tree... Sources for the tree on the second slide are the Historia Augusta, Usborne's Romans, Venning's Roman chronology and the Wikipedia articles for Antoninus Pius, Lucilla and Gordian I. #gordianii #gordiani #antoninuspius #marcusaurelius #commodus #genghiskhan #descendants #elagabalus #romanhistory #romanempire #crisisofthethirdcentury #autocratpodcast
