Whether the Athenian pandemic that destroyed a quarter of the Attic population in 430-29 B.C. and made it nearly impossible for Athens to win the Peloponnesian War, or the outbreaks of Yersinia pestis (A.D. 541–49) that ended the Byzantine emperor Justinian’s grand idea of a reunified Rome headquartered in the East, or the bubonic Black Death of the 14th Century (1347–51) that may have killed off a third of Europe’s population, plagues can tear apart the entire social and cultural foundations of a society.
