The Fate of Rome

Book • 2017
In 'The Fate of Rome', Kyle Harper explores the pivotal role of climate change and pandemics in the decline of the Roman Empire.

The book delves into how environmental factors, such as volcanic eruptions and solar cycles, combined with diseases like malaria and the plague, weakened Rome's resilience and ultimately led to its downfall.
