It was warmer during the Roman republic and most of the empire era. So basically there was no real winter season for much of Europe that Rome conquered except in the mountain passes. I take it that the Romans were incapable of defending their large territories in Europe when it got colder during late antiquity. So the Romans weren’t cold proof.Yes or no?
>>17415993>there was no real winter seasonyes there was and when the cooling period went into full effect rome was able to hold out for a bit, the real consequence of the cooling was farming season became less effective especially with the technology they had which contributed to the population declines and famines being more severe
>>17416000It barely snows today in most of France, Benelux, Italy, Spain, England now just imagine the winter weather during the Roman warm period when it was warmer than today. The Germanic, Gaels and Turkic tribes were more cold conditioned compared to the Romans.
