are there examples of a declining empire that the turned the trend around durably? As in: things are going downhill, someone comes and turns it around for the better

Okay I had to look it up, but… The Babylon empire and the neo Babylonian empire. The first had a decline but they had also a comeback under the King Nabopolassar & Nebuchadnezzar II. The first empire had declined after the death of King Hammurabi (1750 bc) and then the comeback after the Assyrian empire. In 625 bc the King Nabopolassar established the Neo-Babylonian empire. But to be honest it was almost 1000 years between the two empires. So I don’t know if this counts.
