What defensive measure did the Romans use to protect Rome in the period of decline of after the five good emperors?

The period of decline started 55 years after the death of the last "good emperor." It was caused by a 50-year period of military anarchy historians call the Crisis of the Third Century. The Romans were torn by civil wars and suffered invasions by peoples who took advantage of this and played a game of cat and mouse. When there were invasions in the east they had to redeploy some of their troops from the west. The same happened when there were attacks in the west. The emperor Gallienus developed a cavalry force which acted as a rapid deployment force and could reach the places under pressure quickly.At the end of the third century and in the early fourth century the emperors Diocletian and Constantine restore order in the empire. The period of decline stopped.
