The Imperial Crisis of the 3rd century was a period of political instability, economic decline, and frequent changes in leadership within the Roman Empire. This crisis weakened the central authority of the empire, leading to increased fragmentation, invasions by barbarian tribes, and ultimately contributing to the fall of the Western Roman Empire in AD 476.
