The Ancient Rome

The period between 193 and 235 was dominated by the Severan dynasty, and saw several incompetent rulers, such as Elagabalus. This and the increasing influence of the army on imperial succession led to a long period of imperial collapse and external invasions known as the Crisis of the Third Century. The crisis was ended by the more competent rule of Diocletian, who in 293 divided the Empire into an eastern and western half ruled by a tetrarchy of two co-emperors and their two junior colleagues. The various co-rulers of the Empire competed and fought for supremacy for more than half a century. On May 11, 330, Emperor Constantine I firmly established Byzantium as the capital of the Roman Empire and renamed it Constantinople. The Empire was permanently divided into the Eastern Roman Empire (later known as the Byzantine Empire) and the Western Roman Empire in 395.
The Western Empire was constantly harassed by barbarian invasions, and the gradual decline of the Roman Empire continued over the centuries. In the 4th century, the westward migration of the Huns caused the Visigoths to seek refuge within the borders of the Roman Empire.


Maksud nya, pada tempoh masa 193 shingga 235 merupakan zaman Severan Dynasty, dan pada zaman ini, wujud nya pemerintah yang berpotensi tinggi seperti Elagabalus. Ini menyebab kan pengaruh ketenteraan wujud serta menyebab kan penjajah luar datang dalam tempoh yang panjang dan ini di kenali sebagai The Crisis of the Third Century. Krisis ini di henti ksn oleh pemerintah yang unggul iaitu Diocletian, yang telah membahagikan kerajaan tersebut kepada eastern dan western dan diperintah oleh Tetrachy. Tetrachy merupakan orang yang berpangkat tinggi. Akan tetapi kedua-dua tetrachy ini bergaduh untuk mendapat kan kedudukan sehingga beberapa kurun lama nya. Dan ini memberi kesempatan kepada Barbarian untuk menyerang. Barbarian merupakan orang yang mempunyai badan yang sasa yang tidak mempunyai pegangan hidup serta kepercayaan. Akhir nya mereka tewas di tangan Barbarian.
