did the third century bring peace and properity to the rome empire?

Answer 1

In the 3rd Century AD (I assume this is what you mean, since Rome was not an empired in the 3rd Century BC), Rome was wracked by problems that left it a shadow of its formal self. It was sacked several times, and many historians put the official date of "collapse" of Western Imperial Rome in 476, 3/4 of the way in to the 3rd century.

Answer 2

Most definately it did not. During the 3rd century there were competing Emperors - Britain and large parts of Northern Gaul effectively split away from the Empire for 20 odd years and were ruled by an 'Emperor' competing with the one in Rome. The Empire was split into the Eastern and Western halves, ruled by an overall 'Augustus' and two 'Caesares' or junior emperors. Things didn't really settle down until Constantine was elected emperor (in York, 50 miles or so from where I now sit) in 306.

Answer 3

no it didn't, the third century was when the long decline of the roman empire began,barbarian armies were building all around the empire and the emperors were not the best the empire had seen. the first century A.D. would have been the high point of the roman empire, this was when it reached it's height in military/political power and occupied the largest amount of territory it ever had.

Answer 4

The date 476 was in the 5th century AD.
