But the Romansh Empire Wash duvasted bu the third shentury….too mush whine and gladiators..
an dash de truf.
The weakness of Rome: 3rd century AD
The chaos at the centre of the empire is reflected in a decline of imperial control. This brings certain benefits to the provinces (in AD 212 Caracalla drastically reduces the special prestige of Italy by granting Roman citizenship to all freeborn inhabitants of the empire), but it also exposes the frontier regions of the empire to ever-increasing incursions from barbarian neighbours. (AMNESTY)
Even where the barbarians are kept at bay, there is a loss of central authority. Commanders in the more remote provinces begin to behave almost as independent rulers, paying scant attention to Rome. (STATES RIGHTS)
One response to this decline is an attempt to reinvigorate the empire by a return to traditional Roman values. (NATIONALISM)
In AD 250 the emperor Decius decrees that every citizen is to perform a religious sacrifice to the Roman gods in the presence of a commissioner, who will issue an appropriate certificate of compliance. Christians, refusing on principle to comply, find themselves in a direct clash with the state and suffer accordingly. (TAXATION)

Happened here yesterday, our inside cat somehow sneaked outside. No snow but, for him, it was cold outside and when he rushed back in with one of the dogs who’d gone out for a potty break he was ohhhhhhh so grateful. Nothing like a few hours out in the cold, cruel world to make you appreciate a warm lap,on the couch.
