Crises and the Roman Empire

This volume analyzes how crises influenced the development and functioning of the Roman Empire across different historical periods.

It includes contributions from leading scholars on topics ranging from military challenges and administrative reforms to social transformations during critical junctures like the fall of the Republic and the third-century crisis.

The work emerged from a 2006 workshop of the Impact of Empire network and serves as both a scholarly analysis and a tribute to historian Lukas de Blois.
