Plague (sep 4, 165 BC – sep 4, 18 BC)

Description:

A wild disease had broken out in ancient Rome that they had no clue what it was. It was brought back by troops returning from the Near East. They had a few suspicions, but they weren't able to confirm what it was, and it still remains undefined. This disease ended up wiping out 20% of Rome's empire.
