However, An emperor named Commodus pulled up
Rome fell due to degeneration of the people physically and spiritually, and then a series of restorative movements rose up attempting to stop this each failing to truly redeem the Roman people.
Lazy, ineffective ruler
Who was unpopular
He was assassinated and the throne fell into chaos
In 193; there were 5 claimants for the throne and Septimius Severus ended up claiming it
All was gucci until 211 when he died and Geta took the throne.
His own brother killed him in his mom’s arms.
He was one cruel bastard ngl
So it was the 3rd Century Crisis?
Burned down Alexandria when they dissed him
@Florida Man yeah.
Big Barbarians
Not even barbarians
After Caracalla was assassinated a string of emperors came up
And also the murder of the greatest Roman emperor at the time
Resulting in 20 years of like 17 emperors
Oh yeah Caracalla
Isn’t he Severus’s son
It was ok from 263 when Gallienus was in power
“Our sires’ age was worse than our grandsires’. We, their sons, are more worthless than they; so in our turn we shall give the world a progeny yet more corrupt.” --Horace 1st century BCE
The empire somehow recovered; but we’re not done here
Diocletian ended up making a tetrarchy by 284
That was fine; worked out ok
Enter 337 CE; constantine’s death
The empire did super well under Cinstantine
Constantine
The G****rms and H****ns
It was then split under his three sons
RIP the legend Constantine
G*rms and H*ns
One was a faggot; the other quiet, and another rebellious
*H*ns
*H*n
Ew faggot
The faggot killed the rebel; and a usurper killed the faggot
That is not good
All was fine till Constantius I died in 261
So the quiet one?
Julian the Apostate pullednup
What happened to him
