The Roman Empire in Crisis: 248-260 is a thrilling and insightful historical account of one of the most tumultuous periods in Roman history. This book tells the story of the crisis that nearly destroyed the empire, and how it was eventually overcome.

The crisis began in 248, when the emperor Philip the Arab was assassinated. This was followed by a period of civil war, as various claimants to the throne fought for power. The empire was also threatened by external enemies, including the Goths and the Persians.

In the midst of this chaos, a new emperor emerged: Claudius II. Claudius was a skilled general who managed to defeat the Goths and the Persians. He also reformed the army and the government, making the empire more stable.

However, Claudius's reign was short-lived. He died in 270, and the empire was once again plunged into crisis. This time, it was the emperor Aurelian who saved the empire. Aurelian was a ruthless and ambitious general who managed to defeat the Goths and the Persians once again.

Aurelian also reformed the army and the government, making the empire even more stable. He also built a new wall around Rome, which helped to protect the city from attack.

The crisis of 248-260 was a turning point in Roman history. It was a time of great turmoil and change, but it was also a time of renewal and rebirth. The empire emerged from the crisis stronger than ever before, and it went on to enjoy another two centuries of prosperity.
