Continuing our series on plagues, outbreaks, and pandemics in history, we discuss the Antonine Plague, which hit Rome in the 2nd century CE. This plague had a mortality rate of 25% and devastated Rome's military, its cities, and its economy. My guest for this episode is Liz Thill, Assistant Professor of Classical Studies at IUPUI.
