Plagues and Pandemics in the Ancient and Medieval World
Learn all about the Plagues and Pandemics in the Ancient and Medieval world! Covering the famous Black Death (also known as “the Plague“) that brought the Middle Ages to its knees, Justinian’s Plague that ravaged the Roman Empire, the Plague of Athens and many more: In this video, Kelly Macquire discusses the most prominent plagues that the human race has overcome in history, and the effects they had on the populations.
The cause of plague was unknown until 1894 CE, when the bacterium Yersinia pestis was identified and has since been understood as the cause of most plagues. There are three types of plagues and, although some outbreaks in history may have been typhus or smallpox, they are still referred to as plague. These plagues are known as Bubonic, Septicemic and Pneumonic.
The human race has been faced with many plagues throughout history, and as we are all aware, have the ability to destabilise and reduce populations, even in the modern day. Throughout this present Covid-19 pandemic, the best thing we can do is stay inside, stay healthy, and practice social distancing to slow the spread.
