Cartographic Map featuring the Roman Empire in 271 AD

The map illustrates the overall status of the Roman Empire in 271 AD, marking the culmination of the crisis of the third century. This crisis initiated with the assassination of Imperator Caesar Severus Alexander by his men. In 271, the Empire witnessed the rule of three Emperors: Aurelianus, who held sway over the majority of the Empire; Domitianus (The Second), briefly controlling Aquitania; and Tetricus, overseeing Northern Gallia and Britannia.

In the East, Septimia Zenobia, the Queen Mother regent of Palmyra, and also the Queen of Egypt, together with her son King Vaballathus, exerted control over a significant portion of the Roman Empire, encompassing Syria, Egypt, and Southern Asia Minor.

Meanwhile, Aurelian was engrossed in conflicts with the Emperors in Gaul, allowing Palmyra to operate with relative freedom until their formal declaration as Augusti.
