    Augustus became emperor in 27 bc, the crisis of the 3rd century started in 235 ac. That’s a 262 year run before shit really hit the fan. The empire reunited again towards the of the 3rd century, but more authoritarian, corrupt, unstable, … than before. The reforms that would lead to medieval serfdom were introduced then as well.
