It was a period of almost unremitting disaster for Rome, involving a series of civil wars, several major invasions by Goths and Persians, economic crises, and an empire-wide pandemic (plague of Cyprian). A central theme of the book is that this period of moral and spiritual crises diminished the prestige of the traditional state religion, paving the way for the eventual triumph of Christianity.
