Nice work. It was an interesting time period for the Roman Empire.

[@5MinuteHistories]

Thanks! Also agree such an interesting period that essentially led to the split of the empire with Diocletian.

I do love these programs. This one made me recall my 3 to 4-year-old daughter asking for more "cold slop" instead of her mother's "cole slaw". I was guilty for, literally, decades for pronouncing the word misled as myzld. I married a lady who was a language/pronouncing/vocabulary/etc nerd, and she got hysterical for a bit. Do do more shows please!

Actually the turning point came with Aurelian, but then they went and assassinated him. He was the one who re-united the empire defeated Zenobia crushed the rebellions pushed back the Persians and the Germans.
