[stillbrian]

Lists events that killed millions to possibly tens of millions of people and then goes to a one time event that killed ten thousand

[PennyLeach]

What a way to go out!
Volcano, Tsunami, War.

[NickAndriadze]

Everybody forgets the ten trillion earthquakes, a plague and plus a fire of Constantinople that happened ALL at once during Justinian's reign, rip. And yet the guy still managed to do so much with his decaying empire and expand it as much as he could do. He was truly the last great emperor of antiquity.
[Edit] Considering what most are saying about Justinian, it's honestly clear how hindsight makes us so overconfident. ''Everyone is wise in other's war'' as they say. What would have you done in the imperial slippers of Justinian if you had nothing but history knowledge up to 6th century? Would you magically predict persian invasions and counter-sacking of Italy by the goths? As Justinian with modern hindsight I would've only conquered north africa for its rich soil, southern italy and some other strategic locations to ensure mediterranean dominance and use the rest of my resources to fortify and dig into these regions lest they fall into Arab hands 200 years in the future, but Justinian did the most logical thing of trying to _restore_ Rome to its former glory in his day and age.
Also forgot to mention Belisarius my champ, he was real good and stuff.

I'm grateful for events like this that give us great archeological digs centuries later

[maxhalverson]

Plague of Justinian was definitely the worst

[thevisitor]

I can only imagine the amount of sacrifices and prayers that were given to Neptune after this event.

[Yomi]

That’s tsunami that happen in Crete reminds me of Atlantis

[N]

The whole climatic change of the northern rim of Africa along the Mediterranean, went from bread basket too desert, of course that took much longer than these single events

[georgeplagianos]

Wait a minute but the Justinianic plague was that exact plague that came right after the 536 catastrophe his wife Theodora died from it and Justinian survived it

[RoyalZarak]

1204 - the sacking of the eastern Roman Empire by the Crusaders

[brober]

Destroyed the palaces, library and tomb of Alexander when it hit Alexandria

[Janika-xjbv]

"Forgotten" ? Try living in or around Naples.

[Blaqjaqshellaq]

Similar disasters from early Greek history must have inspired the legend of Atlantis...

[huntclanhunt]

Didn't the literal sun go out? That sounds pretty big.

[ColdenHershey]

Great call I believe Amiannus Marcellanus speaks of this disaster taking place.

[richardschulman]

Great research. But the plagues are worst

[juansanchez]

Bro, it was way too many civil wars was the downfall of Rome.

[UR_AVERG.AMERICAN]

I’m glad is wasn’t a Roman at that time lol 😅

[Deridus]

The greatest natural disaster to affluce Rome?

*PUNICS*

[Billswiftgti]

Ok but change your name, I don't want to think about Majorian :(
