Scientists reveal what REALLY caused collapse of ancient Rome
89% Informative
Experts have long theorized that a change in Earth 's climate may have weakened the empire, making it more vulnerable to political instability, economic decline, invasion by foreign tribes and other stressors.
The Late Antique Little Ice Age (LALIA) was triggered by ash from three huge volcanic eruptions which blocked out sunlight.
It lasted for 200 to 300 years and caused mass migrations throughout Europe that may have reshaped and destabilized the Roman Empire .
Researchers found geological evidence in Iceland that suggested this event was 'more severe than previously thought' and therefore played a key role in the Eastern Empire's decline.
