Wir sehen keinen riesigen Verlust in der Bevölkerung. Die romÀnische Empire ist bis zum Ende des dritten Jahrhunderts wahrscheinlich noch um die 60-Millionen-Mark. That's where I'd temper it. Was it a great time to be alive? Well, especially if you were anywhere near the battlefields, definitely not.

The roots are there. One suspects the number of people using them is diminishing. This world's becoming localized. So you get the Gallic Empire, the Palmyran Empire. So you're getting more local distinctions there. Someone like Kiprian can still send messages with letters across these routes, so the routes are potentially available.

But they're nowhere near as safe as, say, they were in the 2nd century, when you've got the 50 years of near total stability. And it's going to be more stable again in the 4th century. So the roots don't disappear. They're there to be revived when the great recovery fully takes effect. But during the heart of the third century, so the worst years, which is basically 250 to 270. 20 whole years.

The other great theme of this period is religion and the role religion is playing. Now, in older scholarship, and there's a famous book called The Age of Anxiety, that this is a period of superstition of different views. Actually, what seems to be happening is it's an age of quite active intellectual philosophy. Und auch unvergesslich Menschen, die Antworten in verschiedene Richtungen suchen.

Und es ist keine Frage, dass die Krise einen Einfluss hat. Und Sie sehen es vor allem mit der Christianity. Denn die Christen waren eine kleine MinoritÀt Anfang des 3. Jahrhunderts und immer noch eine kleine MinoritÀt am Ende. Aber Anfang des 3. Jahrhunderts sind sie vielleicht 2-3% der Bevölkerung. Am Ende des 3. Jahrhunderts sind es mehr als 10%. Es gibt oder nimmt 6 Millionen Christen.
