A proposito di questo titolo

This episode of Why Every Great Empire Eventually Falls zooms in on a grim pattern: during the Crisis of the Third Century and beyond, Roman emperors were dying young — often in their 30s or 40s — from war, assassination, or plague. Lucas and Luna explore the chaotic succession that followed the murder of Severus Alexander in 235 CE, when the Roman Empire saw over 20 emperors in 50 years. They examine how the relentless cycle of usurpation weakened the state, destabilized the economy, and made the empire vulnerable to external threats. Specific figures like Maximinus Thrax, Gallienus, and Aurelian are discussed, along with the reforms that finally broke the pattern under Diocletian and the Tetrarchy. Lucas also connects this instability to broader themes in imperial decline, such as the failure of hereditary succession and the militarization of politics.
