The Plague of Marcus Aurelius

In this episode, I speak with Colin Elliott, Associate Chair in the Department of History at Indiana University.  He describes himself as an economic and social historian with an interest in money, disease and ecology in the ancient Roman world. His latest book, Pox Romana: The Plague that Shook the Roman World is released on 6th Feb and is currently Amazon’s #1 New Release in Communicable Diseases.  And he’s also the host of the Pax Romana Podcast.
