This dissertation analyzes the economy of the Roman Empire in the period following the Antonine Plague and preceding the third-century crisis. In the absence of significant climatic variation and technological improvement, the economy of the Roman Empire was most sensitive to demographic change, specifically the emergence of new diseases. The identification between smallpox and the Antonine plague, using both biological and historical arguments, and the construction of an epidemiological model for smallpox suggests that the Roman Empire may have lost approximately 25% of its population in the decades following the first outbreak. The economic ramifications of a demographic decline of such magnitude, specifically a decline in aggregate GDP for the empire, would have been substantial and are reflected throughout the material evidence. This economic disintegration served as the backdrop, if not the direct cause, for the political instability of the Roman world in the third century.Subjects--Topical Terms:
