Climate Change during and after the Roman Empire: Reconstructing the Past from Scientific and Historical Evidence.
The article discusses the possibility that climate change affected the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, using both historical and scientific evidence. It is said that the earth's climate was stable during the rise of the Empire, with the Nile River flooding in an optimal manner for Egypt's agricul...

It is said that the earth's climate was stable during the rise of the Empire, with the Nile River flooding in an optimal manner for Egypt's agriculture. Also noted are the possible effects of cooling around 260, warmer weather and a severe drought during the fourth century, and cooling following a possible volcanic eruption around 536. The authors note a probable link between temperature and precipitation patterns. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Interdisciplinary History is the property of MIT Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
