Antonine Plague (1 gen 165 anni – 1 gen 180 anni)

Descrizione:

ancient pandemic brought back to the Roman Empire by troops returning from campaigns in the Near East. Scholars have suspected it to have been either smallpox[1] or measles,[2][3] but the true cause remains undetermined.

The total deaths have been estimated at 5 million, and the disease killed as much as one-third of the population in some areas and devastated the Roman army.
