The volume covers the history of the Roman Empire from the accession of Septimius Severus to the throne in 193 to the death of Constantine the Great in 337 A.D. This was one of the most critical and pivotal phases in the history of the entire Mediterranean world. The period began with a civil war that established the Severan dynasty on the throne, when the power seemed to be at peace. From 235, this relative stability was followed by a half-century marked by a succession of short-lived emperors and usurpers who quickly succeeded each other, as well as a number of serious military setbacks on the eastern and northern frontiers of the empire. The "soldier and senate emperors" phase was replaced by the First Tetrarchy (284-305), a period of collegial rule in which Diocletian, along with his comrade Maximian and two junior co-emperors (Caesars Constantius and Galerius), again stabilized the empire. This period ended with the reign of the first Christian emperor, Constantine, who defeated Licinius and began a dynasty that remained in power for thirty-five years.
