One disease, two empires. In this compact study Jones presses his thesis further: that endemic malaria shaped the fortunes of Greece and Rome alike, thinning populations, emptying the countryside, and altering events that historians usually explain with politics alone. You will discover a short, provocative argument that changed how classicists read the ancient landscape. The factor nobody had counted. Press play and reconsider.
