Light discoloration to spine, Shelfwear; 8vo; 264 pages; During the third century the Roman Empire almost foundered in prolonged convulsions of barbarian invasions, incessant civil wars, and worsening economic crisis. It was saved by a succession of Balkan soldier-emperors, of whom the dominant figure was Diocletian. A superb administrator, innovator and reformer, he ended the anarchy by the novel experiment of fourfold sharing of imperial power-- the Tetrarchy --which succeeded in crushing every revolt and stabilising the frontiers.
