A lovely book on the topic Imperial Exits (Review) came out in 1995. One of the particularly imperial exit-filled eras was the age of chaos or anarchy or Crisis of the Third Century that preceded the rise of Diocletian and the division of the Roman empire into the four parts known as the tetrarchy.
