Description

Modern states have ever looked to antiquity for lessons, coveting Rome’s power and fearing its decline. So why did Rome collapse? Scientific study is providing novel answers. Placing texts and artifacts alongside evidence from ice cores and ancient DNA, Paul Stephenson shows the key roles of environmental disaster and pandemics in the fall of Rome.
