Summarizing the Third Century Crisis
#14
Quote:It has always been drilled into me that it is important to point out that the crisis left some areas more or less untouched. Re: the defense in depth aspect, the Augsburg stone that tells of a Germanic raid that was intercepted on its way out of the empire is a beautiful piece of evidence.
The Limes Tripolitanus and the Bu Njem ostraca are another case in point. The province was flourishing and the ostraca show a garrison that is working normally.
