guy Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) Did climate change play a role with the collapse of the Roman Republic? Quote Julius Caesar was assassinated on the Ides of March (March 15) in 44BC and a bloody civil war followed. This brought down the Roman republic and replaced it with a monarchy led by Caesar’s nephew Octavian, who in 27BC became the emperor Augustus. A group of scientists and historians suggest that a massive volcanic eruption in Alaska played a role in this transition, as well as helping to finish off Cleopatra’s Egypt. https://theconversation.com/did-a-volcanic-eruption-in-alaska-end-the-roman-republic-141196 guy also known as gaius Edited November 2, 2021 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
