<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Magnus Maximus, post: 4528250, member: 73473&quot;]He ran a competent administration and left the empire in capable hands, so he probably deserves high marks. I feel that a lot of the difficulties the Romans would face in the 3rd century were pretty much inevitable regardless of who was the Emperor (the Cyprian plague, climate change, large confederations of German tribes). Though Septimius Severus’s massive increase of legionary pay and severe debasement in 194 didn’t do the Romans any favors in the 3rd century.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my two bits <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
