Which was not a development in the Roman Empire that led to the Third-Century Crisis? a. defense of the frontiers draining the treasury b. frequent change of "barracks emperors" c. the sack of Rome by invading Hun warriors d. Germanic tribes raiding deep into the Roman Empire
The Crisis of the Third Century, also known as Military Anarchy or the Imperial Crisis, was a period in which the Roman Empire nearly collapsed under the combined pressures of invasion, civil war, plague, and economic depression. The Crisis began with the assassination of Emperor Alexander Severus at the hands of his own troops, initiating a fifty-year period in which there were at least 26 claimants to the title of Emperor, mostly prominent Roman army generals, assuming imperial power over all or part of the Empire. 26 men were officially accepted by the Roman Senate as emperor during this period, and thus became legitimate emperors.
