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. This authoritative work illustrates a pivotal moment in history, detailing the intricate connections between disease, empire, and the forging of a new world order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48496060596443,"sku":"9780739491638-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/40e47a13-e012-496e-b936-96ca2dd69db1.png?v=1773987519","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780739491638-secondhand-justinians-flea-plague-empire-and-the-birth-of-europe","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
