di Philip Davies (Autore)

Historia Magna, 2025

In the heart of antiquity, the mighty Roman Empire faced its darkest hour. The Crisis of the Third Century: Rome's Struggle for Survival unravels the gripping saga of an empire on the brink—riven by relentless invasions, ruthless soldier-emperors, economic collapse, and social upheaval. Between 235 and 284 AD, Rome teetered on the edge of fragmentation and fall, as internal chaos and external threats converged to challenge everything the empire stood for. Philip Davies masterfully guides readers through this turbulent era, blending vivid historical narrative with deep analysis of the military, political, economic, and religious forces that shaped Rome's fate. From the bloody rise and fall of dozens of emperors to the seismic cultural shifts that set the stage for Christianity's ascendancy, this book offers an unparalleled exploration of resilience and transformation. Rich with insights drawn from primary sources and cutting-edge scholarship, The Crisis of the Third Century illuminates how Rome's desperate struggle not only defined an era but forged the foundation for the empire's remarkable survival and evolution. For lovers of history, politics, and epic human drama, this is an essential journey into the empire's crucible of crisis—a story of power, survival, and the indomitable spirit of a civilization.
