[QUOTE="Bart9349, post: 1712439, member: 5682"]Gallienus’s rule represented the depth of the Crisis of the Third Century. Gallienus shared rule of the Roman Empire with his father from AD 253-260, until his father was captured by the Sassanians. After AD 260, Gallienus ruled till he was assassinated in AD 268. As discussed before, the Crisis of the Third Century was marked by instability: runaway inflation, economic disruption, devastating plague, destructive insurgencies, and incessant barbarian invasions. None of these factors were conducive to quality coinage. This crisis reached its depths during Gallienus’s rule when the Roman Empire splintered into three states: the western Romano-Gallic Empire (which included Britain, Gaul, and Hispania), the eastern Palmyrene Empire (Syria and Egypt), and the remaining central core of the Roman Empire: [ATTACH]263517.vB[/ATTACH] Pat Southern has written a couple great books on the period:[B] The Roman Empire from Severus to Constantine [/B]and [B]Empress Zenobia: Palmyra’s Rebel Queen.[/B] Anyway, gotta run. I’ve got to go back to England 1700. Sir Isaac awaits me. guy[/QUOTE]
