The Ancients
Rome's Crisis of the Third Century

Yes. Was die dritte Jahrhundertkrise macht, ist, dass es der erste echte Punkt ist, zumindest externe, dass die römische Empire auf alle drei großen Frontiere gleichzeitig gespeichert wurde. Britannien und Nordafrika kommen nicht in die Reckung. Es gibt drei große Frontiere, wo die Römer einen großen Angriff haben können. Der Rhine-River, der Danube-River und der Osten.

And for most of the second century, the German frontiers had remained stable until it cracks wide open back in the 160s under Marcus Aurelius. He then restabilized it. Septimius Severus works hard to stabilize it as well. So in the 230s, the main threats in the East. But in the 250s and 260s, three major Germanic groups become a threat and two of them are brand new.

The only one for whom we have a previous track record is what's collectively known as the Alemanni, which is just really a collective name for Germanic peoples, usually around where the Rhine and Danube don't quite meet. What's completely changed the reckoning is on the Rhine River a new people have emerged. V.a. um die niedrigen Länder, Belgien, die Niederlande, und das sind die Franken.

Das sind die Franken? Also das ist, als die Franken emergten? Die Franken erscheinen zuerst in unserem Rekord als eine deutlich distincte Gruppe in den 250er-Jahren. Und in den 240er-Jahren, für das erste Mal, treffen wir die Gothen. Denn die Gothen, die ursprünglich von irgendwo in der Baltischen Region kamen, sind im 2. und 3. Jahrhundert in die Ukraine geflüchtet.

And then, as the 3rd century progresses in the 240s through to the 260s, Gothic pressure is growing on the Danube. So you've got Goths raiding across the Black Sea and down over the Danube. You've got Alamanni and Franks raiding across the Rhine. And then you've also got the rise of the Sasanian Persians. Arguably no emperor, no matter how good, could actually have coped with that treble threat.

Ja. Eine Sache, die ich immer aufmerksam mache, ist, dass wir viele Könige haben. Die meisten von ihnen sind sehr intelligent, sehr aktive Männer. Rom ist nicht eine Gesellschaft, die sich runterliegt und stirbt. Das siehst du wieder, wenn du zu dem Verlust des römischen Empires im Westen des 5. Jahrhunderts kommst. Es fällt nicht, weil sie einfach abgeben und stoppen kämpfen.

Die Römer wissen, wie sie die germanischen Triebe schießen. The key is you need enough of the resources to exploit the fact that your equipment and training is usually better, and crucially that you normally on a battlefield have reserves, and very few tribal armies remember the importance of having a reserve.

Maximinus Thrax does what he was originally hailed emperor to do, which would stabilize that German frontier. The problem is he'll never secure overall power. Posthumus Odonathus. Do what the local peoples look to them to do, which was protect the Rhine or the East.
