so-so
19/150 I really wanted to enjoy this book, because of my life long fascination with the Roman Empire and it's people, but I sadly found it dry and academic. There's a lot to learn here about how the Romans viewed this pandemic, its effects on the social, economic, and political arenas, but it's missing the human element. I never got a true feeling of what the average Roman experienced during the plague, the author kept the story at a distance.

TieDyeDude Bummer, sounds like there is a lot of potential in that event for many stories. I was not aware of this plague. 3mo
