[New Release] 'Roma-ui Unmyeong: Climate, Disease, and the Fall of the Empire'

◆The Fate of Rome: Climate, Disease, and the Fall of an Empire= The fall of the Roman Empire is depicted as a victory of nature that crushed human ambition. Deadly natural disasters and various infectious diseases ultimately caused more deaths than wars. The author meticulously verifies this with extensive data ranging from archaeology and anthropology to biology, pathology, and climatology. It is truly a historical inquiry redefined by science.

"Nature activated another terrifying mechanism that collapses human society, like an army launching a surprise attack under the cover of darkness. That was infectious disease. In determining the fate of Rome, biological changes were far more powerful than physical climate changes. Of course, climate change and infectious diseases are so closely linked that they overlap, but they are not the same phenomenon. However, there are times when they create a synergistic effect. Over the centuries we can focus on and explore, climate change and disease intertwined to decide the fate of the Roman Empire."
