Antonine Plague Economic Collapse

Earlier today we went dark. This one is darker. Researcher's Note: The Antonine Plague killed an estimated 25% of the Roman population, but its most insidious impact was economic. Faced with a collapsed tax base, Emperor Marcus Aurelius began the process of debasing the denarius, reducing its silver content to pay the bills. This act of fiscal desperation began a spiral into hyperinflation that would cripple the Empire for a century, proving that a virus can kill more than just people; it can kill an economy. Tomorrow we go deeper. Follow so you don't miss it.
