This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

"Roman coin confirms emperor's existence". Daily Telegraph online. February 25, 2004.

On 30 August 2021, it was proposed that this article be moved to Crisis of the third century. The result of the discussion was not moved.

The table is inconsistent in describing emperors as 'dynastic' and 'non-dynastic'[edit]

Philip and his Philip II should be a dynasty, and the same applies to Gallus and Volusian. 2001:8003:2810:8A00:C979:3181:FAF5:B8BE (talk) 01:33, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite, or substantial reworking, needed[edit]

The current article doesn't reflect modern scholarly works on the topic. Work really ought to be done on it by someone who is an expert in the topic. Whole sections are also muddled: the "history" section is largely unsourced, the causes section should really cite a good secondary source than the collection of websites that it currently does, the subsection on natural disasters therein seems to be a collection of news articles, etc. Ifly6 (talk) 21:27, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ifly6 I agree, so why not give it a try, you can't just wait for experts. Rjdeadly (talk) 10:36, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Roman empire after c. AD 14, maybe with some extension out to Claudius, is not my field. Someone who has an actual interest in the post-Severan period should contribute. I, frankly, find the whole Roman Empire historically tedious. Ifly6 (talk) 11:29, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ifly6 unlikely to happen then Rjdeadly (talk) 17:40, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
