What impact did the Imperial Crisis have on the Roman empire?
*
4 points
The Imperial Crisis had a significant impact on the Roman empire. This period of political instability and civil war weakened the governmental system, leading to economic decline and military vulnerability. The crisis also resulted in the frequent assassination of emperors, causing successive ruler takeovers, which led to a loss of control and direction in the empire. Additionally, invasions from external threats like the Goths and Persians occurred during this time, especially when the Roman armies were already weakened from internal conflict. As a result, the crisis contributed to the decreasing power and prestige of the Roman empire, and ultimately led to its eventual decline.
