Western Roman Empire - Crisis of the 3rd Century

The Western Roman Empire is the name given to the western half of the Roman Empire after its division by Diocletian in 286 AD. It would exist intermittently in several periods between the 3rd Century and the 5th Century, after Diocletian's Tetrarchy and the reunifications associated with Constantine the Great. Theodosius the Great was the last Roman Emperor who ruled both east and west, and he died in 395 AD. After him the Roman Empire was definitably divided and the Western Roman Empire ended with the abdication of Romulus Augustus under pressur ...

Starting on the 18th of March 235 AD with the assassination of the Emperor Alexander Severus, the Roman Empire fell into a period of fifty years of civil war, today known as the Crisis of the Third Century. The rise of the warlike Sassanid dynasty in Parthia had created a major threat to Rome in the east. Demonstrating the increased danger, in 259 AD, Emperor Valerian was captured by Shapur I. His eldest son and heir-apparent, Gallienus succeeded and was in the Eastern Frontier, fighting. The son of Gallienus, Saloninus and the Praetorian Pr ...

As the Roman Republic expanded, it gradually reached a point in which the central goverment in Rome could not expect to rule effectively the distant provinces. This was due to slow communications and relativly slow transportation methods. The news of a enemy invasion, a revolt, a epidemic outbreak or of a natural disaster was carried by ship or by mounted postal service (similar to the Pony Express) and therefore needed "quite some" time to reach Rome and and required a similar amount of time until a response and a reaction reached the trouble ...

Main article: East-West Schism At the beginning of Christianity the status and the office of the Bishop of Rome (who would latter become the Pope) was quite unclear. One has to realize that a nascent "underground" and sometimes prosecuted faith simply couldn´t be governed from a single central point, largely due to the deficient communications and slow transports available at that time. Local religious autonomy was the obvious result. Indeed, many of the great christian theological Questions: divergent testaments, dubious tran ...

Main article: Constantine The Great The system of the Tetrarchy quickly ran aground as the Western Empire's Constantius died unexpectedly in 306 AD, and his son Constantine the Great was proclaimed Augustus of the West by the legions in Britain. A crisis followed as several claimants attempted to rule the Western half. In 308 AD, the Augustus of the East, Galerius arranged a conference at Carnuntum which revived the Tetrarchy by dividing the power between Constantine and a newcomer named Licinius. Constantine was far more inter ...

The Roman Empire was ruled by a single Emperor, but with the death of Constantine in 337 AD, civil war erupted among his three sons, dividing the empire into three parts. The West was reunified in 340 AD, and the complete reunification of the whole empire occurred in 353 AD, with Constantius II. Notably, Constantius II focused most of his power in the East, and he is often regarded as the first Emperor of the Byzantine Empire. Under his rule, the city of Byz ...

Several times throughout the middle ages, the eastern Byzantine Empire managed to reconquer large areas of the West which had been occupied by several barbarian tribes. The greatest success were the campaigns of the Byzantine generals Belisarius and Narses on behalf of the Emperor Justinian I from 535 AD to 554 AD. Much of the then Vandal occupied former Roman territory in North Africa was regained, particularly the territory centred around the city of Carthage. The campaign eventually moved into Italy itself, eventually reconquering it completly, with some minor territory being take ...

As the Western Roman Empire crumbled, the barbarian warlords who had conquered the provinces felt compelled to uphold many Roman laws and traditions. These "barbarians" were already christians, but most of them were followers of Arianism. Wisely, they quickly converted to the roman catholic faith gaining more loyalty by the local romanized population and at the same time recognition and support by the powerful Roman Catholic Church. Altough they initially continued to obey tribal l ...

Main article: Tetrarchy The external borders were largely quiet for the remainder of the Crisis of the Third Century, although between the death of Aurelius in 275 AD and the accession of Diocletian ten years later, at least eight Emperors or would-be Emperors were killed, many assassinated by their own troops. It was under Diocletian that the political division of the Roman Empire would start. In 286 AD, through the creation of the Tetrarchy, he gave the western part to Maximian as Augustus, and named Constantius Chloru ...

It was relativly easy to rule the Roman Empire, from the central capital of Rome, during peacetime. A eventual rebellion was expected and would happen from time to time: a general or a governor would gain the loyalty of his officers through a mixture of personal charisma, promises and simple bribes. This would be a bad, but not a catastrophic event. The legions were spread around the borders and the rebel leader would in normal circunstances, have only one or two legions under his command. Loyal legions would be detached from other points of ...

Main article: East-West Schism At the beginning of Christianity a office like the pope and even a organized and unified church didn´t exist. The christian faith was "governed" by the twelfe patriarchs who were "more-or-less" considered a council of equals. Even the whole idea of a "organized church" took time to be born, to be developed, and later to be organized. As Constantine the Great legalized the christian faith, the "bishobs of Rome" tried very slowly to impose their authority over the whole church as "primus inter pare ...
