This compelling historical account, Justinian's Flea: Plague, Empire, And The Birth Of Europe, chronicles the devastating impact of the bubonic plague during the sixth century. It uncovers how this catastrophic pandemic reshaped the Byzantine Empire and profoundly influenced the nascent European continent. The narrative presents a meticulous examination of the disease's origins, its rapid spread, and the societal and political upheaval it wrought. Rosen argues that the plague's demographic collapse directly contributed to the decline of classical civilization and the emergence of new power structures.
